Visit to The House in a House
The House in a House or "Kuća u kući" is actually a smaller house built into what remains from a much bigger house or mansion. In some way walls of the smaller house are almost adjacent to the bigger one. The smaller house was inhabited by an elderly couple until some years ago but it is uninhabited now and going to ruins. The bigger house is all you see from the street and most of windows are closed with dry-stone. Only if one peeks through crevasses one could see the smaller house though.
