SKUPI

The old and ancient settlement of Skupi is located in the northern part of Skopje (8 km from the city centre) near the village of Bardovci and Zlokukani. The town was a well-known base until it was completely destroyed by a powerful earthquake.
Sculpture The excavation site of the town of Skupi is located right by the road, near the village of Bardovci. Numerous archaeological finds are kept in the Archaeological Museum in Skopje, including a sarcophagus of Centurion, and some tombstones.
Near the village of Zlokukani there are the excavations of the Skupi theatre, galleries, the auditorium, orchestra and the stage. The theatre in Skupi is of the Roman type, while the building was covered with coloured tiles and the theatre itself was built in brick. That theatre was better decorated than the ancient on in Stobi.
