A pretty mansion to visit from the outside. Despite some difficulties in maintaining some exteriors, we feel a real desire to do well. It is very nice to walk around and look at their vegetable garden. Interior not visited

Very nice visit with a very efficient art history student guide on the history of this mansion and on the different details of everything that furnishes this mansion. Along the way, the mansion houses the kitchen which was used as a filming location for the Tipiak advertisement. The garden is also very pretty, it is an English garden with a vegetable patch. An outbuilding houses an exhibition area where we were able to meet a local painter with paintings typical of the region and landscapes that we encountered during our stay.

Stobi

Stobi was an ancient town of Paeonia located near Gradsko. It is considered by many to be the most famous archaeological site in North Macedonia. Stobi was built where the Erigon (Crna River) joins the Axios (Vardar), making it strategically important as a center for both trade and warfare.

Stobi developed from a Paeonian settlement established in the Archaic period. It is believed that in 217 BCE, Philip V annexed Paionia during his campaign against the Dardani who had entered Bylazora, the largest Paeonian town.

The city was first mentioned in writing by the historian Livy, in connection with a victory of Philip V of Macedon over the Dardani in 197 BC. In 168 BC, the Romans defeated Perseus and Macedonia was divided into four nominally independent republics. In 148 BC, the four areas of Macedonia were brought together in a unified Roman province. In the reign of Augustus the city grew in size and population.
