History
The present village largely covers the site of the substantial Roman camp and settlement of Lugio.[3]
In June 1700, Serbian Patriarch (in exile) Arsenije III held a church assembly in the town, which was known in Serbian as Sečuj.[4] Sečuj at that time was one of the centers of Serbian church and political life.[4] At the assembly, Danilo Šćepčević was officially chosen as the metropolitan of Montenegro (Cetinje).[4]
Amenities
The village has an eight-grade primary school, a kindergarten, a cultural center, a library and an old people's day-care center. Medical services are provided by two physicians, a nurse, and a dentist.[5]
The village lies on the main road No. 56. It has regular long-distance and local bus services.[5]
The Dunaszekcső Loess Slope is a nature protection area forming part of the Danube–Drava National Park.[6]
