Library "Gotse Delchev", Gevgelija

According to the elderly Vancho Karayanov it was build around 1911. Recent studies indicate that it was built eight years before the beginning of twentieth century by a Turk who planned the building for a bank at ground floor and family home at the upper floor. Architecture has many rich ornaments recognizing a flower poppy, which at that time dominates in these areas. The building is of particular importance to Gevgelija, because it has become a famous décor over the years, but also a "brand" which is proud of the town. It was built by Debar’ craftsmen who were not chosen at random – known widely for their work. It is believed that a similar house was built in Thessaloniki. The supporting pillar was specially poured for the purpose in Thessaloniki. The library has a significant collection of original works, including the book Mirror, written by Macedonian enlightener Kiril Peychinov and printed in 1816. In 1945 grew into a public library and was named Gotse Delchev. Since 1950 it is situated in today's premises at Beshirov Konak. The site is under protection of Ministry of Culture and Gevgelija’ municipal property. Initially, the library has been working on ground floor and since 1985, on upper floors, as well as in a private building.
