History

Village is first mentioned in 1316, when king Stephen Uroš II Milutin of Serbia gifted Ariljača to the Gračanica monastery.

The village has an old Orthodox church, renovated in 1938.

Until 1988 the village belonged to the municipality of Pristina, when it was included in the newly-formed Kosovo Polje municipality.

Notes

  1. The political status of Kosovo is disputed. Having unilaterally declared independence from Serbia in 2008, it is formally recognised as an independent state by 97 UN member states (with another 15 recognising it at some point but then withdrawing recognition), while Serbia continues to claim it as part of its own sovereign territory.
