## History

[edit]

In Vučak at the foot of Mount Kasmaç, about 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) southwest of Glogovac, the ruins along the hillsides occupy a commanding position. Archaeological evidence supports a history of settlement from prehistory to the Middle Ages, but the two prominent forts remaining show characteristics of the Late Antiquity period.[2][3]
