In the vicinity of the village there are ancient graves as well as caves which are thought to be inhabited in the ancient ages. There are also Roman age rock tanks for must and vine. An undated stone bridge may also be a Roman bridge. Although there are 5-6 century-old sycamore trees within the village, the exact founding date of the present village is not known.[2]
