Called Корешница in Macedonian and Koreşnik in Turkish, this village in the municipality of Demir Kapija has a population of 500, half of whom are Turks, about 100 Serbs, and about 100 Macedonians. Surrounded by stone quarries, it is famous for the tomb of the5th century BC which was discovered in 1996. It housed the most beautiful ancient object in the country: the Korešnica crater, a Greek bronze wine vase 1.20 m high. Unfortunately, this one was acquired by the American collector Shelby White who refuses to return it to Northern Macedonia.
