Old Town of Visoki

Visoki was a medieval fortified town of the Bosnian state, occupying the summit of Visočica above the Bosna river. It functioned as the upper, defensible element of a paired settlement whose lower trading suburb, Podvisoki, lay by the river below. The town is mentioned in medieval charters, including a well-known reference in the 1355 charter of Ban Tvrtko, and it belonged to the network of fortified centres through which the medieval Bosnian rulers exercised authority in the central Bosna valley. The visible remains today reflect long abandonment rather than a single restored phase, and the site is protected as a national monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Individual construction phases, occupants and events should be confirmed through current scholarly or commission sources rather than stated here as fixed facts.
