The old charshia in Gevgelija

Old Charshia is located in the town center and is under monuments protection and historic importance. Recognizable structure as a typical oriental bazaar, cobbled stone blocks and small two-storey shops glued to one another, depicts the Macedonian style of the XIX century. It was built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. There were several commercial and craft buildings in “Old Charshia”, as well as dining facilities that served the town's inhabitants and nearby villages with various goods ranging from food to craft and others. Most shops were held by Turkish and Jewish merchants who after the Balkan wars, began to emigrate massively from the region mainly to Istanbul and Izmir (Republic of Turkey). Nevertheless, Old Charshia continues to exist with the same look as a trade and craft place to this day. All buildings there are authentic.
