Kotor Castle, Medieval fortress in Kotor Varoš, Bosnia and Herzegovina
The castle complex features a tower positioned above the Jakotina River, with dungeons situated near a waterfall and connected by stone stairs.
First documented in 1382, the fortress served as the preferred residence of Duke Hrvoje Vukčić Hrvatinić until falling to Ottoman control in 1519.
The castle structure represents multiple architectural influences, from medieval Bosnian Kingdom designs through Ottoman military modifications during their occupation.
Located at coordinates 44.6068 latitude and 17.3706 longitude, visitors can explore the remaining foundations and staircase remnants throughout the site.
The fortress maintained its own military crew until 1838, with different commanders called dizdars managing operations from this strategic position.
