Culture

The Neolithic site of Zbilje extends across a large area on the elevated river terraces. Around 344 medieval tombstones, known as Stećci, have been recorded in necropolises in the municipality of Visoko. Zbilje is one of the settlements in the Visoko area where medieval funerary monuments, known as Stećci, have been recorded, and one of the places in the Visoko area with a necropolis of such tombstones.

The pottery from the archaeological site is also described in detail: it contains a high proportion of fine ceramics as well as black and grey surface decoration and typological connections to Lisičić and northeastern Bosnia. These characteristics of Zbilje pottery point to parallel developments in Obre II associated with the final phase of the Butmir culture. In addition, the Neolithic site of Zbilje displays Vinča characteristics, particularly those of the Vinča-Pločnik phase.

Compare the holiday apartments based on these points and choose an offer only once the terms relevant to you are clearly identifiable. When opening and comparing the offers, you can also check the desired travel period, any possible minimum stay and the payment date. Pay attention to whether final cleaning, taxes or other costs are listed separately and whether the occupancy matches the planned number of guests.
