It is a fortress with a nice view overlooking the city. The entry is free, however the place is not very well maintained, some of the lookout towers are unstable and don't feel safe. It is well worth a visit, but I recommend checking first before climing something.

It's fantastic to be at the fortress which was built in the 6th century. It's history and should be appreciated. You can walk the walls and climb a few of the towers. The fortress moat bridge and tower steps have deteriorated greatly since I was here 4 years ago. It's become overgrown with weeds and trees. The entry is free, but it's a pity the fortress isn't being maintained.

Free entry which means I should not criticize but I cannot help but say that this place seems abandoned by the authorities. It offers good views of the city from small holes, but a lot more can be done with this fortress and its courtyard. So far shrubs rule the courtyard, and a few dogs patrol the walls in an effort to mark their territory, or perhaps to keep us company. A visit would be worthy but I do hope that they consider more investment into the region in the future.

Interesting spot to explore. Many newer structures have been started on the grounds of the fortress.These structures give it a strange appearance but make it even more interesting to figure out. Following the paths most traveled because some small paths lead to dead ends. Nice view of many parts of the city especially the river walk up close from above. Definitely recommend if you find yourself on this side of Skopje

A must visit when in Skopje. It is a nice walk up to the fortress. The views of all of Skopje and the mountains are amazing. This fortress was built by the Romans. Plenty of space to walk around, sit, and enjoy a day out. There are many vantage points from all sides of the city. I really enjoyed walking around the wall and taking in the views.
