The Stone Bridge (Macedonian: ; Albanian: Ura e gurit; Turkish: Taş köprüsü) is a bridge across the Vardar River in Skopje, the capital of North Macedonia, built by Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror.
The bridge is considered a symbol of Skopje and is the main element of the coat of arms of the city, which in turn is incorporated in the city's flag.[1] It is located in Centar Municipality[2] and it connects Macedonia Square to the Old Bazaar.[3]
