Description
Archaeological site Solotnik Solotnik is an archaeological site in Solotus, about 9 km from Kaludjerski Bar, dominated by the ruins of a medieval castle. The fortress was built on a rocky plateau below which is a long limestone cliff, which descends to the source of the Solotuska river. There are no historiographic notes about it, and no special folklore, except for the name Grad, Kulina or Jerina's town. According to archaeologists, Solotnik is a typical medieval castle, and it owes its name to the village where it is located. During archaeological research, fragmentary remains of fortifications from the Iron Age were discovered, with continuity in the early Byzantine period, while the castle with the manor house was built in the 15th century. Fossilized lime mortar, numerous finds of weapons and scarce fragments of stone pottery indicated that Solotnik was built in a hurry and that it was conquered during a Turkish attack, most likely between 1459 and 1463.
