It is the location of the ancient Roman complex of palaces and temples, Felix Romuliana, built by Emperor Galerius. The main area covers 10 acres and is believed to have been an important Roman military camp and an imperial palace. For lunch we will visit the wine village/cellars Rajacke Pimnice, one of the biggest undiscovered attractions in Serbia. Rajac or Rajacke is a specific village just for wine cellars. There are about 270 wine storage units made of stone and wood, most of them dating back to 18th century. We will sample local wine with lunch.
