Mickoski Opens Reconstructed Old Bazaar in Gevgelija
The restoration project aims to preserve architectural heritage while boosting local tourism in the southern border town.
Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski attended the opening of the reconstructed Old Bazaar in the Municipality of Gevgelija today, an event scheduled for 1 PM as part of continued efforts to restore historic town centers across the country.
Old bazaars in Macedonian towns traditionally serve as not just commercial but also cultural-historical centers, and their reconstruction often serves a dual purpose — preserving architectural heritage while boosting local tourism and small business.
Local Development Through Restoration
Such projects typically involve reconstructing walkways, facades and infrastructure in old town areas, aiming to create a more attractive environment for both residents and visitors. Gevgelija, as a town right near the Greek border, has long relied on both transit and tourist traffic as part of its local economy.
The Old Bazaar's restoration is expected to boost the appeal of the town center, complementing already ongoing efforts to develop tourism in the southern part of the country.
