Historically, its strategic position along ancient routes fostered a thriving economy, with the weekly market remaining a cornerstone of its identity, drawing people from surrounding hamlets and villages to its bustling stalls. The very air here seems to carry the echoes of traders and travellers who have passed through, their footsteps a faint rhythm on the well-trodden paths.
