Saraj Resen

You're standing in front of the Saraj in Resen, North Macedonia. Take a good look at this building. A symmetrical palace with a tall central section and two wings, in crisp Neoclassical style. In the middle of a small Macedonian town, it looks like a piece of France. And that was exactly the idea. The name comes from the Turkish word saray, meaning palace. Locals simply call it the Saraj.
