Here in Skopje, the original home of "Mother Teresa," where she was born in 1910, the founder of the Order of the Missionaries of Charity, who worked for many years in India, is honored. Mother Teresa – awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1979, died in 1997, and canonized in 2016 – once described herself succinctly as follows: + "I am Albanian by birth, Indian by nationality; I am a Catholic sister. Through my mission, I belong to the whole world, but my heart belongs only to Jesus."

Alexander the Great was the great Macedonian.

The arch is 21 metres high and cost 4.4 million euros. Its author is Valentina Stevanovska, a sculptor who created several other grandiose monuments as part of the Skopje 2014 project, including the statue dedicated to Alexander the Great, officially called "Warrior on a Horse". During the opening ceremony, Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski admitted that he was personally the initiator of the Skopje 2014 plan.

The statue of the Macedonian king Alexander the Great, or Alexander III of Macedon as he is more correctly known, is 14.5 meters high, made of bronze, and mounted on a 10-meter-high concrete base. This gives it a total height of 24.5 meters. There is a fountain beneath the monument, and the concrete base of the statue itself is part of the fountain, complete with water features and lighting. Around the base in the center of the fountain are eight three-meter-high bronze soldiers.

Mother Teresa, now a saint, was born in Skopje and lived there until her teens. She then moved to Ireland and finally to Calcutta, India, where she died. The Memorial House commemorates the life and deeds of Mother Teresa. It is a miniature museum spread over two floors and also houses a chapel. It primarily exhibits photographs and texts by Mother Teresa. Admission to the Mother Teresa House is free and open every day of the week.

If Komoot says there is a way, then there is one. Just don't worry if the bridges are broken, boards are missing or creaking suspiciously.
