Sirkovo, Old Well

Сирково

Description

German photographs from the First World War show an old well in the village of Sirkovo built, amongst others, with a spolium having a Latin inscription of the Roman Emperor Hadrian (reigned 117-138). During a survey in the region in May 2025 we visited the village of Sirkovo, where a local called Sašo explained to us that the well still existed (without inscription), when he was a child, and that it has been destroyed in order to build the main road through the village. Sašo showed us the place, where the well formerly stood.
