Visočica, Mountain summit in central Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Visočica, also called Brdo Grad, is a 767-metre forested hill about 500 metres south of Visoko's town edge and some 20 kilometres northwest of Sarajevo. It rises roughly 200 metres above the surrounding land, with marked ridges to the northeast and northwest that give it a pyramid-like profile. The hill is made of breccia, a sedimentary rock left by a lake that existed here about 7 million years ago and was later pushed upward; its platy, angular blocks shape the hill's blocky outline.

In the Middle Ages the hill was the centre of Visoko, then a Bosnian royal town, which is why it is also called Brdo Grad ("hill town"). The name Visočica was coined only in the 1960s, after the Yugoslav army made the first photogrammetric surveys of the area. In 2005 Semir Osmanagić launched the claim that the hill is a man-made pyramid, prompting excavations that scientists say damaged the site.

The hill's medieval name, Brdo Grad ("hill town"), comes from the fortified centre of the Bosnian capital Visoko that stood on its slopes. The name Visočica itself was only coined in the 1960s, after photogrammetric surveys by the Yugoslav army. Since 2005 the hill has drawn visitors interested in Semir Osmanagić's pyramid claims, which geologists reject.

The wooded hill rises about 500 m south of the edge of Visoko, roughly 20 km northwest of Sarajevo, and stands some 200 m above the surrounding land. Its marked ridges run mainly to the northeast and northwest. Excavation trenches and reopened passages dug by the pyramid-theory team since 2005 cut across parts of the slopes, so walk with care there.

The hill's name Visočica was only coined in the 1960s, after the Yugoslav army made its first photogrammetric surveys of the area; before that it was known as Brdo Grad, "hill town", from the medieval Bosnian royal centre on its top. The 767-metre summit rises about 200 metres above the surrounding land.
