Kalotina (
Nishava River, a tributary of the South Morava
, flows nearby.
The village was first mentioned in 1453 with its present name. In a 1576 source, it was referred to as Kalotine. Kalotina's name is the feminine form of an adjective derived from the
ellipse, as no noun is part of the name.[1]
The village has a medieval
Bulgarian Orthodox church dedicated to Saint Nicholas which built in the 14th century, during the rule of Ivan Alexander of Bulgaria (as indicated by an inscription in the church). It was richly decorated with murals, although they have been badly preserved. The church donors are thought to have been Deyan and Vladislava from the church in Kučevište, and the church was likely built between 1331 and 1334 or 1337.[2]
