Bobovac

Bobovac

Bobovac is the most well known and fortified city of medieval Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is located near today's Vareš.

The city was built during the reign of ban Stjepan II Kotromanić and was first mentioned in a document dating from 1349. It shared the role of seat of the rulers of Bosnia with Kraljeva Sutjeska, however Bobovac was much better fortified than the other.

Bobovac contained the crown jewels of Bosnia as well as being the burial site for a few of the kings of Bosnia. These were Stjepan Ostojić, Tvrtko II Kotromanić and Stjepan Tomaš.

King Stjepan Tomašević moved the royal seat to Jajce during his war with the Ottoman Empire. The Ottomans invaded the city in 1463. Its fall hastened their conquest of the entire nation.

Bobovac is now a protected cultural site. HKD Napredak releases a monthly magazine called Bobovac for the Croats of Vareš.
