History
The area of the settlement has been constantly inhabited since prehistoric times, due to its favorable geographical features. Survived stone debris, gravestones, dish and sculpture fragments, amber, tegula, bronze, glass beads and jugs gave evidence for the existence of Neanderthaler hunting camps, a Neolithic cemetery and Roman residential houses. The Romans began quarrying in the area.
In the year 381, there was a clash between the Huns and the Romans according to the Chronicon Pictum. 8th century cemeteries revealed human skeletons, ancient containers and animal bones.
