Hiking

The arch is 21 metres high and cost 4.4 million euros. Its author is Valentina Stevanovska, a sculptor who created several other grandiose monuments as part of the Skopje 2014 project, including the statue dedicated to Alexander the Great, officially called "Warrior on a Horse". During the opening ceremony, Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski admitted that he was personally the initiator of the Skopje 2014 plan.

A pretty fake-looking triumphal arch dedicated in the mid 2010s by the newly independent former Yugoslavian Republic of Macedonia to claim its name. Given the quality it might be more a triumph of corrupt building contractors.

Was built in 2011 to mark the 20th Independence Day. The upper floor can be rented for events such as weddings or book launches.
Important stations of the Macedonian nation are depicted on the panels.
