Dalj

Dalj is a settlement situated where the Danube and Drava rivers meet in Osijek-Baranja County. The community spreads across flat terrain with agricultural fields, homes, and local roads that reflect the character of this river region.

The area around Dalj was continuously settled from the Neolithic period onward and shows evidence of different ancient cultures. Archaeological work has uncovered burials and objects from the Iron Age that shed light on how earlier inhabitants lived.

The Cultural and Scientific Center dedicated to scientist Milutin Milanković serves as a central institution for educational and community activities.

The settlement connects to the region via the D519 road and the Vukovar-Erdut railway line. Visitors should know it is a quiet, small village where most services and facilities are found in nearby larger towns.

Buried beneath the flat ground lies a large Iron Age cemetery with hundreds of graves scattered across the landscape. This burial site reveals how family groups organized their dead and what local burial customs tell us about those ancient communities.
