The Central Post Office in Skopje is a worthy testament to resilience and reconstruction emerging in the immediate aftermath of the devastating earthquake in 1963. Its distinctive shape and architectural style have become synonymous with the city\u2019s strength and determination to rebuild. Today, as the iconic brutalist building reaches its 60th anniversary, Europe House Skopje has initiated the architectural competition \u201cSkopje of the New Generation\u201d to celebrate this powerful symbol of cultural heritage and to make a room for the fresh ideias of the New Generation`s creative minds.<\/p>\n

The city’s rich history, marked by challenges and triumphs, is embodied in this architectural marvel, making it a fitting focal point for our 4th Birthday Celebration.<\/p>\n
