Toplica District

Toplica District is an administrative region in southern Serbia, named after the Toplica River and comprising four municipalities. The area contains numerous settlements, with Prokuplje serving as the administrative center.

The district developed as a Serbian administrative region and became a center of early human settlement due to its geographic position. Over decades, the area experienced population shifts that reflected broader historical changes in the country.

The district holds archaeological sites, particularly Pločnik, where discoveries from the Copper Age reveal early human settlement in the region. These locations tell the story of the first communities that established themselves here.

Visitors can reach the region by car, as Prokuplje has good road connections to surrounding areas. Having personal transportation is recommended for exploring the archaeological sites and Mount Vidojevica.

Mount Vidojevica is home to an astronomical observatory equipped with a large telescope for observing the night sky. This location allows visitors to watch celestial objects from an elevated vantage point.
