Cultural landscape of ancient Viminacium and modern Kostolac – creation of a new approach to the preservation and presentation of its archaeological and industrial heritage
Abstract
Viminacium, once an important Roman city and a legionary fortress near the Danube, situated
in the villages of Stari Kostolac and Drmno, in Serbia, near a strip coal mine and a power
plant, today is the most developed archaeological park in Serbia and is visited by many tourists.
However, the future sustainable development of the wider area requires the creation of a
more comprehensive approach to the presentation of its archaeological and industrial heritage,
connecting Viminacium and other historical traces into a cultural landscape where industrial
progress, heritage preservation and modern tourism are linked.
