The site also contains a late antique fortress, dated to the 4th century based on finds. Those interested in different historical periods will therefore find more than one era represented here.

The Chapel of St. George, dating from the 13th century, stands in Mateško Selo; it is listed in the Register of Cultural Property under code Z-3174.
