The Daut Pasha Baths, built in the late 15th century, were the largest hammam in Skopje during the Ottoman period and among the largest in the Balkans. The structure — a series of domes of different sizes covering the various bathing chambers — is visually striking and well-preserved. Since 1948 it has functioned as the National Gallery of North Macedonia, displaying Macedonian paintings and icons in rooms that retain their original stone walls and domed ceilings.
The combination of Ottoman architecture and 20th-century Macedonian art is an unusual one, but the space itself is beautiful and the gallery is generally uncrowded. The icon collection includes medieval Macedonian icons from monasteries around the country. The baths are in the heart of the Old Bazaar, close to the Stone Bridge.
