Stobi Ancient City – A Roman and Byzantine Gem
Founded in 359 BC, Stobi was once one of the most important cities in the northern part of the Roman province of Macedonia.
Later, it became the capital of Macedonia Secunda, serving as a major administrative, military, commercial, and religious center for both the Roman and Early Byzantine empires.
Because of its strategic location at the crossroads between the Aegean world and Central Balkan regions, Stobi played a vital role in the transfer of culture and goods across the ancient world.
As you walk through the ancient streets, you’ll discover beautifully preserved mosaic floors, majestic columns, early Christian basilicas, and a remarkably well-preserved Roman theater.
Moreover, the nighttime illumination of the ancient city walls adds a dramatic flair that highlights the city’s historic grandeur.
