Lepenski Vir

Lepenski Vir is one of the largest and most significant Mesolithic and Neolithic archaeological sites. It is located on the right bank of the Danube in the Đerdap Gorge. This locality, which got its name from the Danube River, was the seat of one of the most important and complex cultures of prehistoric times. Between 1965 and 1970, a fishing and hunting settlement with the beginnings of cultivation and domestication was discovered. During the excavations, seven successive settlements and 136 buildings (both residential and sacred) built in the early Mesolithic, in the period from about 9500 to 7200 BC, were discovered.
