A massive and controversial project is underway to restore Skopje to quite a level of greatness. Estimated to come at an expense of 80-500 billion Euro, the government is building an overwhelming number of statues, buildings, and other structures in quite dramatic styles that rival any of the great classical cities of the world. Jarring in appearance to some as having so much pristine 'history' packed into such a central and small space can be rather inauthentic. All the same, it is quite impressive to witness.
The next few posts will be a sampling of just some of the statues and structures that are in all phases of construction.
