View of Krushevo - a small town near the capital of Macedonia, Skopje. It is located in the southwestern part of the north of the country and is the administrative center of the community of the same name. It is considered the highest mountain settlement in the north of the country. And also one of the most picturesque, as evidenced by this broadcast.

The history of Skopje, whose webcams are available today on this site, dates back to the 1st century AD.

The Romans were the first to settle in these lands along the picturesque valley of the Vardar River. They organized a camp here, which gradually grew into a colony called Skupi. After some time, a stone fortress appeared on this place, which turned into a large center after a couple of centuries. The city was repeatedly plundered by Goths and Huns. But the most massive destruction of Skupi was not brought by people. In the 6th century, the city, together with a powerful fortress, was turned into ruins by a strong earthquake.
With the arrival of the Byzantines, by decree of Emperor Justinian, the fortress was restored. But moved from the river bank to the hill. By that time, the Verzite Slavs had come to present-day Macedonia. They renamed Skupi to Skopje. At the initiative of Tsar Samuil, the city became the capital of the Bulgarian kingdom.
Further history was extremely changeable and sometimes had sharp turns. So for almost 7 centuries, the lands were owned by the Serbs and Byzantines, who then gave the territories to the enemy, then won them back. But after the Ottomans came to Skopje, these places were called Uskub for a long time and came under Turkish rule. It is noteworthy that in the 16th century the second strongest earthquake in history occurred, which again destroyed the city to the ground, but the local population again revived Uskyub from the ashes. The renewed city existed for a little over 1.5 centuries, when a test again fell to its lot. Fearing a cholera outbreak, the Austrians burned the city to the ground. At the beginning of the 19th century, the locals themselves began work on the restoration of the city for the third time. However, nature again made its own amendments to history.
The third earthquake, which significantly exceeded the previous two in strength, occurred at the beginning of the last century. The Serbs entered the dilapidated city, who drove out the remnants of the Ottoman troops from these territories. The new owners gave the city its name - Skopje.
The time of world wars also affected the fate of the city. In 1944, Skopje became part of Yugoslavia, having previously been occupied by Bulgaria. But nature again prevented the division of land between the warring neighbors.
In 1963, the most devastating earthquake of all time occurred. His strength reached almost 7 points, so in the future Skopje had to be restored almost from scratch. The reconstruction project was developed by the famous architect Tange. A little less than 30 years later, Macedonia secedes from Yugoslavia and gains independence, like the rest of the Balkan republics.
Today, walking around the Macedonian capital, one can hardly see traces of the trials that befell its fate. Travel will give only positive emotions and impressions.
