Memorial House of Mother Teresa with the Orthodox church of Konstantin and Elena in the background. Mother Teresa was born in Skopje, the capital of North Macedonia, in 1912 during the waning years of Ottoman rule. Though Sunni Islam was then the official religion, Christianity was tolerated and in the part of Albania where Teresa´s parents originated, Roman Catholicism was widely practiced. At 18, Teresa joined the Sisters of Loreto in Ireland then moved to India the following year. In 1950, she founded the Missionaries of Charity, the sisters of which wear the Hindu-inspired white sari with blue borders. In 1979, for her humanitarian work, she was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, same recognition given to US President Obama in 2009 and to the Philippines´ Maria Ressa in 2021. She was canonized saint by Pope Francis I in 2016.

This house is located very close to the main city square. The visit is free, the museum/house is small, the exhibits are few, but perfectly reflect the way of life and path of Mother Teresa. When visiting Skopje, it is definitely worth getting to know this one of the most famous personalities of the 20th century. A nice coincidence, during the entire trip around the Balkans, Mother Teresa's name and image accompanied her in the most unexpected places.

The free, compact memorial house spells out the story of Mother Teresa's call to serve God by aiding challenged people. The first floor tells her story, just like her: compact, concentrated, to the point, and no frills. The upstairs chapel offers a relaxing, spiritual rest. Sometimes local priests offer Mass here. The tiny gift corner offers cards in several languages, rosaries, and other Mother Teresa artifacts.

Mother Teresa was originally born during the Ottoman Empire in 1910 in an administrational division of the Ottoman Empire. Today, it's known as Skopje; the capital of North Macedonia. Although not the original house, it's an ode to the saint herself, with artefacts, letters, original items and an adjoining church. It's free to enter, donations welcome and the free walking tour takes you here as well.

Türkçe: “Üsküp Rahibe Teresa Anıt Evi gündüz çok güzel, ama gece de oldukça etkileyici. Hemen yanında kafeler sokağı var ve fiyatlar oldukça uygun. Otopark için az ilerisinde A4 Park bulunuyor; Makedonia Parkı uygulamasını indirerek ya da QR kodunu okutarak e-posta adresinize gelen bağlantıyla ödeme yapabilirsiniz. Şehir merkezinde yer alan bu mükemmel anıtı mutlaka ziyaret etmelisiniz.” English: “The Mother Teresa Memorial House in Skopje is beautiful during the day and quite impressive at night. Right next to it, there is a café street with very reasonable prices. For parking, A4 Park is just a short walk away; you can download the Macedonia Park app or scan the QR code to pay through the link sent to your email. This perfect monument in the city center is definitely worth a visit.” (Kurmanci): “Anîtê Rahibe Teresa li Üsküpê di rojavayê de xweş e, û jî di şevê de pir çekdar e. Li berê wê, şûna kafeyên pir xweş heye û bihayê wan jî pir hêj e. Ji bo cihê parkê, A4 Park hinekî nêzîk e; hûn dikarin serlêdana Makedonia Parkê bikişînin an jî QR kodê bigirin da ku ji e-nameya xwe girêdana tevdî bikin. Ev anît, di navenda bajarê de ye û bi rastî pêşniyara serkeftinê ye.”

A quiet place dedicated to Saint Mother Theresa. The museum has a collection of Mother Theresa's life and works, her writings and what Jesus meant to her. Also displays the Nobel prize certificate she had received. There is also a picture which outlines Mother Theresa's timeline from her birth and highlights special achievements. A place worth visiting. Do keep a note on opening times.
