History

In 500 BC, Hellenistic pottery including Megarian bowls were excavated in the town. It is assumed that the healing waters of Jošanička Banja were known to the ancient Romans, and that their beneficial effect was also used by the Turks, as evidenced by a hammam from the 18th century. The healing properties of the water were formally examined in 1834, per request of Prince Miloš.
