Novo mesto was one of the most important centres of Central Europe in the earlier Iron Age (8th-4th centuries BC). As many as 9 bronze, figuratively decorated vessels – situlae – have been found in two burial mounds, which rank among the top of European prehistoric art.
This is why Novo mesto is the TOWN OF SITULAE.
