QUARTIER DE DEBAR MAALO

This neighborhood (Дебар Мало) is one of the most pleasant on the western side of Skopje. Described as a "bohemian" or "little Montmartre" neighborhood, it concentrates many restaurants. Despite the earthquake of 1963, it retains buildings and villas from the 1920s-1930s. It is at this period that it took its name of "Debar district", mainly populated by Macedonians from the region of Debar, in the west of the country. The most lively places are the streets Aminta-Treti (or Leninova, from north to south) and Orce-Nikolov (from east to west) and the pedestrian street Gjorgji-Peškov.
