Gradsko (Macedonian: Градско) is a village (despite the word grad meaning town) located in central Republic of Macedonia. It is located at around 41°34′39″N, 21°56′34″E and is very close to the main motorway which links Gevgelija on Macedonia's border with Greece, to Slovenia's crossing with Austria. It was constructed in Yugoslavia. The village of Gradsko is the seat of the Gradsko municipality. It was the ancient Paeonian capital of Stobi.^[1]
