Macedonia Square, Skopje

Macedonia Square (Macedonian: Плоштад Македонија, "Ploštad Makedonija") is one of the main squares of Skopje, Macedonia. It is located in the central part of the city, and it crosses the Vardar River. The Christmas festivals are always held there and it commonly serves as the site of music concerts and political speeches. The independence of the Republic of Macedonia from Yugoslavia was declared here by the first Macedonian President Kiro Gligorov.The square is currently under re-development and there are many new buildings around the square being constructed.

In 2007, the Macedonian Government announced plans to reconstruct the Skopje Army House, the Old Skopje Theatre, and the Kale Fortress, all national symbols of Skopje and Macedonia Square that were completely destroyed in the 1963 Skopje earthquake.
