Skalishte

Skalishte refers to a depopulated village located in the municipality of Probištip, North Macedonia. It's situated in the northeastern part of the country. The village is known for its abandonment and declining population, a trend common in some rural regions of North Macedonia due to factors such as economic migration to urban areas and other countries. Its history is tied to the broader historical narratives of the region, including periods under Ottoman rule and subsequent incorporation into various Balkan states before becoming part of present-day North Macedonia. Information specifically focused on the village's daily life and local culture before its depopulation is relatively scarce in easily accessible resources. The current state of Skalishte serves as a representation of demographic shifts impacting rural communities in the Balkan region.
