Ritopek

Ritopek (Serbian Cyrillic: Ритопек, pronounced [ri:topek]) is a suburban settlement of Belgrade, Serbia.

The most representative is the Scythian styled pendant from the 5th century BC, a representation of a stylized griffin's head with tentacles.

[2] In Roman times, the fortress of Tricornium (Latin for "three-horned fortification") existed at the site of Ritopek.

A ceremonial breast plate with stylistic illustrations belonging to Legio VII Claudia soldier Aurelius Herculanus and dating from 258 AD has been found,[3] as have many other artifacts of the Roman period such as silver coins that were washed ashore once the dam of the Iron Gate I Hydroelectric Power Station was constructed.

Reappearance after 120 years is a result of the successful reintroduction project conducted since 2004 in the Zasavica reserve, 90 km (56 mi) west of Belgrade.

The complex covers 1,800 m2 (19,000 sq ft) and consists of five, successively built sections: house with studio and scenic viewpoint; exhibition gallery; three smaller capsules for guest artists; land across the Danube with artistic installations, visible from the viewpoint by the spyglass; a large studio with KUKA KR 210 creativity robot.
