Kalata

Kalata is an archaeological site on an island within Kalimanci Lake that contains remains of ancient settlements and fortified structures. The artifacts found here show that this location was inhabited and important over a long period of time.

The site originated in the 3rd century as an important location for settlers who were interested in controlling the water and surrounding territory. Its position beside the lake made it strategically valuable for the people living there.

The site shows signs of early settlement patterns tied to water living, revealing how ancient communities valued locations near lakes. The remains suggest how people adapted their daily routines to life beside the water.

The location sits on an island and can only be reached by water, so visitors should check with locals or authorities beforehand about how to get there. It is important to bring proper equipment and preparation since the island is isolated.

The discovery of tools and pottery shows that people in ancient times fished and made crafted goods that were traded across long distances. These objects point to active exchange with other settlements.
