Dolovo

History of the village Dolovo
Dolovo was first mentioned as a Serbian village in the Peja Catastrophe, in 1660. At that time, this area was inhabited by Serbs who migrated from Serbia across the Danube to the Pannonian Plain, in fear of the Turks. The largest and most famous migration was definitely the one under the leadership of Patriarch Arsenije Čarnojević (Great Migration of Serbs), with which the Serbs inhabited this Banat village as well. However, the latest archaeological research, conducted at sites not far from today's Dolovo, proves that settlements existed in this place before. At the archeological site of Ciglana, research has shown that in ancient times and in the Middle Ages, there were settlements of Decani, Sarmatians and early Slavs, who lived as free peoples from the then Roman Empire.

Additional information
There is one interesting story about this Pancevo village, so we will tell it to you on this occasion. In the past, the Romans traded in these parts, and if they went to Deliblato, Crepaja or Starčevo - they would always somehow reach Dolovo. When they returned to Rome and told what happened to them, they added that people from these parts told them nicely: "Well, you whip those horses in vain, all your roads lead to Dolovo, but!".
