Golem Grad (also called St. Petar) is an island of great cultural and historical importance. It has been declared a Strict Nature Reserve due to its specific geomorphological features, characteristic flora and fauna and historical past.
The surrounding water, the geological background and the proximity to the Mediterranean Sea have allowed the island to be dominated by a special microclimate, rich and rare of widespread vegetation and dominated by southern European flora. Due to the natural values that Golem Grad Island possesses, the park’s spatial planning plan stipulates a special protection regime for the island and is placed in the zone for strict protection.
Prespa, i.e. the region around Lake Prespa in what is now the border triangle of Macedonia, Greece and Albania, is hardly mentioned in the written sources of antiquity. Modern historiography, which also deals with issues of ancients in the Balkans, also mostly leaves this region on the fringes of historical events. The oldest finds on the island that were discovered relate to the New Stone Age (Neolithic). Mostly just in the form of stone weapons, used by the fishermen who lived on the shores of the lake and only traveled to the island to fish.
