Grupče1 1 Institute of Chemistry, Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics, “SS. Cyril and Methodius” University, Arhimedova 5, 1000 Skopje, Republic of Macedonia e-mail: [email protected], [email protected] 2 Museum of Macedonia, Ćurčiska bb, 1000 Skopje, Republic of Macedonia Introduction The Mediaeval fortification Skopsko Kale (Skopje Fortress) is si- tuated in the heart of the modern capital of the Republic of Mace- donia, Skopje, performing the role of a strategic centre of the Central Balkan Peninsula, mainly since the 6th until the end of the 19th century. This Fortress served as one of the most important military and administrative sites of the competing military powers of the Middle Ages: Byzantium; the II Bulgarian Kingdom; the King- dom of Samuel and the Serbian Kingdom, when it became the ca- pital of Tsar Dushan, and later the seat of the Ottoman rulers. (a) After the extensive field research conducted in 1967, a major ex- cavation campaign was performed during 2007 within the circum- ference of the mediaeval Skopje Fortress [1]. Among the finds, the most unique discovery of the excavation campaign are the re- mains of a church (Fig. 1.a), located at the hilltop position within the fortification. This is so far the only church unearthed within the walls of the Skopje fortification. The existence of the church is do- cumented in primary literary data from 1573 by the traveler Phi- lippe du Fresne-Canaye.

The Christmas festivals are always held there and it commonly serves as the site of cultural, political and other events. The independence of Macedonia from Yugoslavia was declared here by the country's first president, Kiro Gligorov. The square is currently under re- development and there are many new buildings around the square being constructed. The three main streets that merge onto the square are Maksim Gorki, Dimitar Vlahov and Street Macedonia. Dimitar Vlahov Street was converted into a pedestrian street in 2011. Maksim Gorki, while not a pedestrian zone, is lined with Japanese Cherry trees, whose blossoms in spring mark a week-long series of Asian cultural events. Finally, Macedonia Street, the main pedestrian street, connects Macedonia Square to the Old Railway Station (destroyed by the 1963 earthquake), which houses the City of Skopje Museum. Along Macedonia Street is the Mother Teresa Memorial House, which features an exhibit of art facts from Mother Teresa's life.

The crowd stood still in expectation. Posing for a while against each other, the dancers jumped simultaneously. Dabaka moved with dexterity to Christina. She gently ran on her toes passing by him. Both looked at each other from head to toe as if wanting to show their superiority and continued their dance. Christina waved her white hand- kerchief, swayed her white neck like a swan and gently floated in the vortex of sound, created by the merry bagpipe. Her face turned hot… Dabaka was in complete trance. With hands freely crossed on his back he moved like a deer performing wondrous jumps in front of her … Then, shaking his head to let the heavy sweat drops fall from his face, he made a movement as if retreating.
