Stobi
I'm not going to try to post entries that in any way reflect on the chronology of what I have seen and experienced since I first came to Macedonia and the Balkans. It's all random.
This is one of the places that I found especially interesting. The old town of Stobi was established pre-Roman times in the area that was referred to as Paeonia. It was later conquered by Macedon and later was a city in the Roman province of Macedonia Salutaris. This photo is of a baptistry in the Northern Basilica.
The old city of Stobi has an ongoing excavation. When you buy admission to the site you might be offered the services of a guide. In our case, it was an archaelogy student and he was very knowledgeable, spoke really good English and it was a great experience. The student guides there are volunteers so a tip is appreciated.
