Arilje (Serbian Cyrillic: Ариље, pronounced [ǎriːʎɛ]) is a town and municipality located in the Zlatibor District of southwestern Serbia.

In 1296 king Dragutin Nemanjić erected his own memorial, a beautiful church, also called St. Achileus, and for over seven centuries it has been the symbol and pride of Arilje, as well as the center of spiritual gathering for the people of this region.

The ethnic composition of the municipality: In the village of Visoka, 34 km from Arilje, there is a spa where water springs in the river bed.

Between the villages of Brekovo and Dobrače, at the spring of the river Panjica, is the entrance to the Vodena pećina (Water Cave), and its numerous secrets have not yet been completely examined.

Over 5,000 of these small production plants in the open produce over 20,000 tons of raspberries and provide considerable annual hard currency income.

With slight cynicism they say they owe their success to the state which didn't show much concern to the development of this area, and did not have time to build any business giants during the social realistic industrial wave.

There was no social peace buying and the people of Arilje were left to themselves, relying on their innate self-preservation instinct, and they rolled up their sleeves, got to work and created a very powerful business center here.

The local team, consisting of representatives of the public, business and civil sector analyzed the present state and defined the directions of future development.

In order to realize this, the municipality planned to invest into the following activities: As of 2012, Arilje has a total of 4,793 registered agricultural entities (farmsteads).
