Vinca is a small place only 14 km from Belgrade and it is famous archeological spot in this part of the world. Vinca today has a status of Archaeological park and is also famous for Monastery of the Presentation of the Virgin to the Temple from 15th century.
In 1908 Mr. Miloje Vasic initiated the excavations and at this time many houses of prehistoric people were discovered (from the period around 4500 – 3200 BC). There are many artifacts and, jewelry and objects made of precious and rare metals, vases, various materials and real treasure that has been procured from other parts of Europe especially Central Europe and Mediterranean region.
