One of the village’s main points of interest is the Chapel of Saint Kyriakos the Hermit. It was built as a foundation in memory of Antonije J. Žunić. A krajputaš dedicated to Bogdan Žunić is set into its southwestern wall. There are also monuments near the chapel commemorating participants in the wars from 1912 to 1918. The chapel is therefore a point of reference for travelers interested in religious and memorial-cultural themes.

Further memorial markers are spread across various named locations. The Ponjavića Cemetery in the Planđište area, which belongs to the Nikojevići local community, also contains monuments commemorating participants in the wars from 1912 to 1918. A krajputaš dedicated to Ranko Terzić stands on Svetosavska Street. On the right-hand side of the path from the Chapel of Saint Kyriakos the Hermit to the school, there is a krajputaš dedicated to Veselin Ćetković. For planning purposes, it is therefore advisable to consider the individual locations separately rather than treating them as a single sightseeing point.
