Porta Macedonia is a 21-metre memorial arch on Pella Square in Skopje, North Macedonia, built between 2011 and January 2012 in a Neoclassical style. Designed by sculptor Valentina Stevanovska as part of the government-funded Skopje 2014 project, it is dedicated to 20 years of Macedonian independence. Its outer surface carries 193 square metres of marble reliefs depicting scenes from the country's history, and its interior houses a state-owned souvenir shop and public access to the roof.
