Jajce, Medieval fortress town in Central Bosnia Canton, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The fortified city of Jajce sits at the confluence of Pliva and Vrbas rivers, encompassed by 1300-meter defensive walls and crowned by a citadel.
The town served as the capital of the Bosnian Kingdom until 1527 when Ottoman forces captured it after multiple sieges and military confrontations.
The presence of both churches and mosques within Jajce demonstrates the architectural evolution through different ruling periods from medieval Bosnian to Ottoman times.
The municipality contains 27,258 inhabitants and functions as a connection point between major towns Banja Luka, Mrkonjić Grad, and Donji Vakuf.
A 22-meter waterfall forms in the center where the Pliva River drops into the Vrbas River, creating an unusual natural feature within an urban setting.
