History
The village of Vërban holds significant archaeological importance. Traces of the Vërban archaeological site show us about a settlement during the Roman times. In the village, in an accidental archaeological discovery is a sculpture found, a masterpiece of the Dardanian art, a reflection of an advanced artistic creation of the indigenous Dardani population. The Dea Dardanica (Latin: Dea Dardanicae) is sculptured in qualitative marble, and reflects a figure of a high-toned Dardanian lady.[2]
