LEPENSKI VIR

Lepenski vir, a unique prehistoric discovery, was brought to light about twenty years ago. The most important finds in the well laid-out settlement are a number of monumental stone sculptures made some six to seven thousand years ago. Nothing comparable has ever been unearthed in relation to such early prehistoric periods in the Balkans and the Danube basin. Particulary valuable to the study of the history of culture and art in the prehistoric Europe are the worked round boulders and marked slabs also found there.
