Description

In the village, next to the Orthodox Church of The Holy Mother of God (Sv. Bogorodica) and the cemetery around it, there is a group with a total of 51 stećak-type tombstones.
Only five specimens are in their original position, the others were reused for building purposes and thus integrated in the cemetery fence and in the foundations of the church.

A damaged inscription referring to Duke Pavle is engraved on one of the stećak tombstones, and on the built-in tombstone (on the inside of the church) there is an inscription referring to Miroslav Rašković.
