Jošanička Banja (Serbian: Јошаничка Бања) is a spa town located in the municipality of Raška, southwestern Serbia. As of 2011 census, it has a population of 1,036 inhabitants.

History

In 500 BC, Hellenistic pottery including Megarian bowls were excavated in the town.[2]

It is assumed that the healing waters of Jošanička Banja were known to the ancient Romans, and that their beneficial effect was also used by the Turks, as evidenced by a hammam from the 18th century.[3]

The healing properties of the water were formally examined in 1834, per request of Prince Miloš.[4]
