History
The history of Ćićevac region dates back to ancient times, as testified by remains of the Roman culture in Stalać.[2]
The area of Mojsinjska Gora (Mojsinjska Mountain) became a refuge for monks from the southern parts of the medieval Serbian Empire, following the Ottoman invasion in 1370s after the Battle of Maritsa.[2][3] Many sacred objects are left from this era, including cultural monuments of great importance:
- St. Nicholas' Church is located in Braljina village and was first mentioned in 1377[4]
- St John's Church is located close to the confluence of two Moravas, on the left bank of the West Morava[5]
- St Mark's Church is the largest church in this area, located on a plateau high in the Mojsinjska Mountain[6]
Stalać Fortress near Ćićevac was built for self-defense, with a unique system of ramparts, gates, and towers. Its construction started around 1370, while it was destroyed in 1413 in the battle against the Turks.[2] The battle was described in the Serbian epic poem Smrt vojvode Prijezde (Death of Duke Prijezda).[7]
Coal mine Moravac operated in Ćićevac between 1884-1935.[2] From 1929 to 1941, Ćićevac was part of the Morava Banovina of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
