Roman tomb, Brestovik

The tomb structure comprises three distinct sections: an entrance porch, a central chamber with marble decorations, and a burial chamber with visible frescoes.

Discovered in 1895 during seedling planting, this third-century tomb became a protected monument in 1948, marking its archaeological significance in Serbian heritage.

Local traditions connect this burial site to Christian martyrs Hermylus and Stratonicus, reflecting the religious transformations during the Roman period in Serbia.
