That is why it is called Justinians Aqueduct.

Shutka is a tour of a one of a kind every day. It is filled with smiling faces, loud locals, dogs, cats, sheep, goats, and horses everywhere on the streets. A vivid experience of Roma in the Macedonian everyday.

Eighty percent of Shuto Orizari’s population is Roma. The municipality is the only local administrative unit in the world to have adopted Romani as an official language. There are Roma members of the parliament and high-level officials serving in the government, although not as many as required by the quota system for civil service.

The streets in Shutka named after Walt Disney, Che Guevara, and Garcia Lorca are bustling. At the center is a sprawling bazaar where vendors hawk tracksuits, sneakers, and home goods, mostly imported from Turkey and China.
