Lepenski Vir is one of the greatest and most significant Mesolithic and Neolithic archeological sites. It is located on the right coast of the Danube in Djerdapska Klisura (The Iron Gates). This locality, which was named after the Danube whirl, was the center of one of the most important and most complex cultures of pre-history. During the excavation, seven successive settlements and 136 objects ( both housing and sacral) were discovered. They were built in the period from 6500 to 5500 BC.
