Caves of Barać

In 1892 the caves were opened to visitors but subsequently abandoned and forgotten following World War II.

In July 2004 the Upper Caves of Barać were reopened to visitors.

[1] The caves are named after a certain Barać who was a fighter against the Ottomans.

The surname of Barać does not exist anymore in this region.

[citation needed] In 2022, tools that were likely from the Neanderthals were discovered in the caves, the tool was found next to a phalanx and a tooth of a cave bear.
