Photos from family albums
Streets and houses, feasts, work in the vineyards, people in folk costume and in uniform: Rakovac as families kept it in their albums. The archive is just starting, and every photo in it comes from someone who knows the village.
The archive is just starting and has no photos yet. Yours could be the first.
Photos are sorted by year and grouped by decade. Where the year is not known exactly, it is marked as approximate. Each photo shows who took it, if that is known, and who shared it. You can filter the archive by decade or by photographer.
A photo stays in the archive only as long as the person who shared it agrees. Write to us and we will correct a caption or remove a picture.
Archaeological site · protected cultural property
Seven thousand years in one place: a Neolithic village, a Roman villa, a medieval Benedictine abbey that became a fortress, and today an excavation site on the edge of Rakovac.
From a legend of 1498 to today
A hunter’s vow, a scriptorium that copied Serbia’s medieval law code, a baroque golden age, destruction in 1943 and a slow rebirth.
1941–1945
Quarry workers who swore the partisan oath, raids on the quarry’s dynamite store, the great offensive of August 1942, and a village burned in 1943.
