Central Post Office in Skopje, North Macedonia
The capital of today's North Macedonia and one of the largest cities in Ex-Yugoslavia, Skopje, was hit by an earthquake of magnitude 6.1 in 1963 which destroyed 75%-80% of the city. The reconstruction, was done in multiple phases. This post office was built in 1974 and it's one of the prime examples of the brutalist architecture of Ex-Yugoslavia. Concrete decoration in front is meant to represent a lotus flower which symbolises the rebirth of earthquake-torn Skopje
