Vrmaški city (Vrmdžanski city) on a limestone promontory in the valley Pakleša, are the walls of the old city residents who say that the "Latin". The city was in Roman times and was built in the period up to the sixth century during the reign of Emperor Justinian. It was built to defend this part of the Byzantine territories from invasions of the Avars and Slavs. Destroyed at the 1416th year and that's all I know about him in the anthropological and demographic terms.
How it was built in rugged rocks and he was well established, the Turks could not win it. In addition, the city was brought to a larger quantity of water and food. Then (according to legend) bribed an old lady to tell them how to conquer the city. Baba teach them to find a horse, and he ajdir nine days does not provide drinking water, and to lead him around the city. Where the horse starts to dig his foot, there to dig, because the water pipes and to cut through the water. At the same time grandmother saying to the captain of the city that will be defeated, but that potkuju horses upside down and through the secret passage to leave the city and so escape from the siege. These and did it. When the Turks saw the traces, they supposed that the reinforcements arrived in the city, but when they entered the city they found all empty.
