Sokograd Fortress, Medieval fortress in Pliva River Valley, Bosnia and Herzegovina
The stone fortress stands at 647 meters elevation on a steep slope above the Sokočnica River, overseeing the junction with Pliva River.
During a 1363 siege, Knez Vukac Hrvatinić successfully defended the fortress against King Lajos I of Anjou's forces for three continuous days.
This national monument represents medieval Bosnian military architecture with its fortified tower, small courtyard, and later additions of Upper and Lower Towns.
Visitors can reach the fortress through Šipovo Municipality, where local guides provide information about accessing the elevated archaeological site.
The fortress served as the final refuge for King Stephen Tomašević before the Ottoman forces advanced into the region.
