Alan from Secret Dalmatia writes: One of the most important sites in the region. Being so high and mighty, it was inhabited from the Illyrian times and served as a fortress, village and observation point.
The role of an observation point was kept all the way to 1995 when our forces finally could go home after the Croatian war for independence was over. Some bunkers from those days can still be seen.
Christian Pilgrimages are also made up Vrcevo Hill.
