Which cultural-historical sites characterize Ivanjica?
The Old Čaršija of Ivanjica is protected as a spatial cultural-historical entity of exceptional significance. The Old Čaršija of Ivanjica dates from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Stone Bridge, built between 1904 and 1906, is also important for understanding the local architectural history.
Other documented buildings include the Moravica Hydroelectric Power Plant, which was commissioned in 1911. The old complex of the hydroelectric power plant was converted into a museum. The Jeremića House is considered the oldest surviving building in Ivanjica. Kushića Han is one of the oldest examples of rural architectural tradition in the Morava region and thus adds a regional perspective to the view of historic architecture.
The Revolution Monument is also part of the local history. It was unveiled in 1957. The monument is a mosaic created by ÄorÄ‘e Andrejević Kun, measuring 5 × 2.4 meters. Ivanjica therefore offers not only older buildings but also an example of 20th-century public art.
