El Poblado is considered one of the most upscale and modern neighborhoods in Medellín, similar to Centar in Skopje, which is the heart of the city and its most prominent area. Centar is not only the administrative, political, and cultural center of Skopje but also a hub of entertainment and business. It hosts the government buildings, including the Parliament and various ministries, as well as foreign embassies. The main square, Macedonia Square, is adorned with the monument of Alexander the Great, surrounded by fountains and ample public space where events and gatherings commonly take place. The neighborhood prides itself on its well-maintained public parks, such as the City Park (Gradski Park) and Woman Warrior Park. Key cultural sites include the National Theater, the Mother Teresa Memorial House, and several museums like the Museum of the Macedonian Struggle. Centar's streets are lined with high-end shops, cafes, restaurants, and bars, drawing locals and tourists alike. The architecture is an eclectic mix of the old and new, reflecting Skopje's storied past and its contemporary revival.
