The archeological site Viničko Kale is in the southwest part of Vinica, Macedonia. The site has existed from prehistory to the Middle Ages. The attention of the scientific and general public to the Vinica Fortress is attracted by the accidental discovery of unusual ceramic tiles with relief paintings. Archaeological excavations began in 1985, first as protective research and later as systematic research, which periodically took place to this day. The research determined the stratigraphy of the site, which was more precisely defined during the last research campaigns, from 2008 to 2011.
