ESTIEM EUROPE3D MAC3DONIA

   Architecture of the Republic of Macedonia refers to architecture ever practised on the territory of present-day Republic of Macedonia.

 

   The several groups of people that have settled or controlled today's Republic of Macedonia have influenced the country in many ways; one of the most visible being architecture.

 

Neoclassical architecture

 

   Although rare, neoclassical architecture cam be seen through the country. Every city contains at least one neoclassical or baroque building. Neoclassical architecture can be seen in Skopje, such as Ristiḱ Palace and in Bitola, especially in the Shirok Sokak street which is filled with neoclassical and baroque architecture and a Gothic Catholic church.

 

Modern architecture

 

   Most of the modern buildings in Macedonia are located in central Skopje. One example is the MRT Center (the national TV broadcast station), which is the tallest building in the country, rising to 230 ft (70.10 m) (70 m).

Examples of modern architecture are also found in other cities, mainly Bitola and Gostivar.

 

Skopje 2014

 

   Skopje 2014 is a project first announced by the government in early 2010 that will foresee the construction several buildings, mostly in the neoclassical style which has drawn criticism from architects as being kitsch.
