Gomolava

Gomolava is an archaeological site on the left bank of the Sava River containing remains of settlements built over six thousand years of occupation. The site consists of two mounds stacked with cultural layers spanning from the Late Neolithic period through to Medieval times.

Systematic excavations in the 1950s revealed settlements from the late Vinča period and continued through the Bronze and Iron Ages. These findings show that people continuously inhabited and rebuilt on this location across centuries.

The houses on this site contain ceramic stoves that show how people cooked and heated their homes long ago. The presence of imported goods from Italy alongside local pottery reveals that residents traded and communicated with distant regions.

The site requires some planning because the terrain is not fully developed for casual visits and paths are not always clear. Spring and summer months offer better conditions since the ground tends to be drier and more accessible.

The two mounds grew taller over thousands of years because each generation rebuilt houses on top of the older ones, layering the site vertically. This tells the story of how people kept returning to the same river location across many centuries.
