SKOPJE I - Telecommunications building


In 1963, an earthquake measuring 6.1 on the Richter scale almost leveled the city and left 1,066 casualties. Aid poured from all over the world and it was said that, on the eve of Cold War, Skopke was the only place in the world where US and USSR soldiers were (peacefully) working together. A significant example of the reconstruction efforts is the telecommunications concrete building on the right bank of Vardar river. Despite everyting, I kind of liked it after getting used to it.
