The Ottoman Monument in the town of Vrana is rich of history and cultural heritage of the place and the people. The sightseeing at the Roman Aqueduct is awe inspiring, the sun dazzled on the water and formed great colourful colours. I must visit this place next time

I walked around the Vrana lake and the scenery is was outstanding, the aquatic animals gave life to the lake.The cool air in the atmosphere and the sound of the birds in the natural environment was very calming to the soul. Very therapeutic.

The Benedictine monastery in this location is a location with a rich cultural heritage. I learned that it was built in the 9th century and was the first permanent residence for the Vatican in 1076. It was later turned into a military fort in the 16th century. I will visit again soon.

The Jusuf Maskovica inn in this location is a monumental building. I learned that it was built in the 17th century to function as a resting place for travellers and Jusuf himself. I loved the Turkish architectural style used in its construction. I will visit again soon.
