History
The medieval fortress of Gračanica is located on the tree-covered, 319 meter-high hill above the village.[3] The fortress was constructed between the 13th and 14th centuries.[3] In the 16th century it was conquered by the Ottoman forces. Traces of two other fortresses, lacking historical data on their usage, are also visible in the hills around the village.[3]
In 1849 the local Roman Catholic chapel was erected while its bell was completed in 1902.[3] In 1998 it was reconstructed and some of the stones used were taken from the site of the medieval fortress of Gračanica.[3]
