Ćićevac is located 3 km northeast of the confluence of West Morava and South Morava, the place where Great Morava is formed.[3]
The history of Ćićevac region dates back to ancient times, as testified by remains of the Roman culture in Stalać.[4]
The area of Mojsinjska Gora (Mojsinjska Mountain) became a refuge for monks from the southern parts of the medieval Serbian Empire, following the Ottoman invasion in 1370s after the Battle of Maritsa.[4][5] Many sacred objects are left from this era, including cultural monuments of great importance:
Stalać Fortress near Ćićevac was built for self-defense, with a unique system of ramparts, gates and towers. The construction started around 1370, and it was destroyed in 1413 in the battle against the Turks.[4] The battle was described in the Serbian epic poem Smrt vojvode Prijezde (Death of Duke Prijezda).[9]
Coal mine Moravac operated in Ćićevac between 1884-1935.[4] From 1929 to 1941, Ćićevac was part of the Morava Banovina of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia.
