Stone Bridge

Zovich, North Macedonia

The Stone Bridge near Zovich village or also known as the “Movie Bridge” is one of the most beautiful architectural creations in Mariovo region. It is made of carved stone and prone stone blocks. It has an arc shape, adapted to the configuration of the terrain. In the lower part adjacent to the river on the side of the village, a watermill was built, which until recently was used by the local population. The watermill is also built of carved stone and covered with stone slabs as all traditional houses in Mariovo region.

Beautiful, not really old bridge over a picturesque little gorge where you can wade in the mountain stream, swim or simply climb over the stones. Nice for children too. It's best to take something to read and or a small picnic with you and spend some time there. Just please don't leave any dirt lying around - unfortunately there is some rubbish in the idyll.

There used to be a wooden bridge in this place, which (according to the inhabitants, collapsed under the weight of a bullock cart) The stone bridge was built in 1956.

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
