Holiday apartment in Michal Nad Žitavou – Celtic and Great Moravian traces

Michal Nad Žitavou draws attention to Svätý Michal nad Žitavou and its archaeological, ecclesiastical and architectural heritage. Between the Žitava river area and historic buildings, the spectrum ranges from Celtic grave finds to a Great Moravian burial ground of significance to the region.

Culture

A Celtic burial ground was discovered in the local JRD sand pit in Svätý Michal nad Žitavou. More than 20 inhumation graves were recovered from the Celtic burial ground. The Celtic graves contained complete vessels, tools, weapons, jewellery and various small objects.
