Fortress of Ključ, Medieval fortress in Ključ, Bosnia and Herzegovina
The fortress stands on a steep rocky slope at 521 meters altitude, overlooking the Sana River valley with three connected defensive sections.
King Stjepan Tomašević used this fortress as his final stronghold in 1463 before the Ottoman forces captured the Bosnian medieval state.
The name Ključ translates to 'key' in English, reflecting the strategic position of this fortress for controlling regional trade routes.
Visitors can examine the remaining structures of the fortress complex, including the castle-town, Tabor fortification, and Ljubica tower sections.
Archaeological excavations revealed Roman-era foundations beneath the medieval structure, indicating continuous military presence at this location for centuries.
