Fortress overlooking old Skopje



I can see the Kale fortress from my hotel window in Skopje.  It was built from stone blocks taken from the ruins of the ancient city of Scupi.  It was a Turkish fortress during the Ottoman Empire and was later occupied by the Serbs.  It is now being reconstructed and used as a tourist site.
