Pictures from Skopje before the earthquake

Here are some pictures from Skopje before the earthquake from buildings that dosent exist any more or ruins remain. (from the train station)

1963, July 26 Skopje earthquake



From the left side the old building of the National Bank and on the right is the old Army Headquarters (or Officers building - Офицерски ).


The old train station one of the biggest in the Balkan peninsula at the time.

Now the part with the Clock is still standing and the clock is stopped at the time of the earthquake.


Again the National Bank from the left and the Army Headquarters from right and in between the main square of Skopje.


The national Macedonian National Theater. Now is it in process of rebuilding.
People say it had a very good acoustics.
