History

[edit]

In 500 BC, Hellenistic pottery including Megarian bowls were excavated in the town.[3]

It is assumed that the healing waters of Jošanička Banja were known to the ancient Romans, and that their beneficial effect was also used by the Turks, as evidenced by a hammam from the 18th century.[4]

The healing properties of the water were formally examined in 1834, per request of Prince Miloš.[5]
