Pestova village is located in the municipality of Vushtrri, on the left side, stretched along the Pristina-Kosovska Mitrovica road, more or less 4 km from Vushitrri. The area is known for a very fertile agricultural land, productive even in present days. [1]
History
During the work carried out in 2005 in Pestova, accidentally some wall contours were discovered. Therefore, a rescue excavation was initiated, which resulted with interesting archaeological findings. On this occasion, remains of a building, ruins of a villae rusticae were partially unearthed. The villas are typical Roman houses set in the countryside and far from the urban centres. As a general rule, villa’s are usually one floor house’s, with atrium or central garden.[2]
