Culture

Between 1937 and 1939, an Early Croatian row-grave cemetery dating from the 9th and 10th centuries was excavated at Glavičine in Mravince. The 130 graves contained clothing elements and simple jewellery, including belt fittings as well as copper, bronze and silver earrings and rings.

The cemetery is considered one of the largest Early Croatian cemeteries.
