Skopje fortress is situated in a hill above the city and there were settlements that existed before the Turks created the extensive castle walls that survived until today.

The present Skoplje fortress named Kale was originally built by the Byzantines in the 6th century. It is supposed that the stone blocks used in this construction were taken from the destroyed city of Skupi nearby. After the 1963 earthquake, Kale’s circular, rectangular and square towers were conserved and restored. Today this fortress is the one of the best sightseeing spots in Skopje.
