Impressive castle walls, shame about the absence of maintenance and decay. Castle looks stunning when viewed from the centre of Skopje, an inner and outer curtain wall gives the impression of a major structure internally. A walk up there provides the option to walk the walls which provide sumptous views over the city, stadium and to the Millenium tower on the mountain behind the city. However, the viewing platforms are falling down and dangerioius! The internal site has been let go completely and is probably dangeriouus, as scrub and trees are recolonising. Desperatly needs money spending on it to stop further decay.

This is a great place not only for history lovers to see the city as well as to see the construction of defensive objects and sites. The walls are still preserved, albeit the interior not much. You must enter only from the northern side.

It's fantastic to be at the fortress which was built in the 6th century. It's history and should be appreciated. You can walk the walls and climb a few of the towers. The fortress moat bridge and tower steps have deteriorated greatly since I was here 4 years ago. It's become overgrown with weeds and trees. The entry is free, but it's a pity the fortress isn't being maintained.

Amazing view and nice green escape for a walk and picture taking. It has free entry. There are unfortunately many unused and not safe parts in the fortress. The skeleton of the unfinished building destroyed the impression inside the fortress. Sloppy local government at its best.

Unfortunately they have not taken care of it and have left it to the fate of the castle! One of the few sights of the city and unfortunately they have left it to their luck. Lots of garbage inside. Without ticket the entrance. You see a big part of the city!
