==History== There were fortified palaces of MacedonianTsar Samuel at the beginning of the 11th century, near the place where today's village is. In the autumn of 1017 the fortress was captured and burned down by the Byzantine Emperor Basil II. Soon afterwards, the Battle of Setina took place. In it the Macedonian Tsar Ivan Vladislav opposed the Byzantines, but he was defeated.
