history

During Roman times, the narrow area of ​​Kreševo ​​belonged to the so-called Central Bosnian mining area, where iron, silver and arsenic ore were intensively mined in the course of the 1st to 3rd centuries. In Kreševo ​​itself, an attempt was made to locate a small mining settlement (possibly vicus), which could have been the center of a number of mining operations in the Kreševo ​​area. It is also assumed that there existed agricultural Roman mansions, villae rusticae, in the Kreševo ​​field.

However, with the exception of a Roman road of 200 meters in length near the village of Vranci, which connected this area with that of Kiseljak, an ancient cycle track near Kreševo ​​and some fragments of Roman architectural elements with the protruding corner stone of a late antique, profiled wreath (before Town Hall in Kreševo) no further monuments from Roman times are known to this day.
