Tešanj Castle, Medieval fortress in Tešanj, Bosnia and Herzegovina
The stone fortress spans 6,296 square meters on top of a steep cliff, with defensive walls restricting access to a single entry point.
The foundations date back to the Bronze Age, followed by Roman, Slavic, and Ottoman developments, creating a layered architectural progression through centuries.
The castle stands as a national monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina since 2005, managed by the regional museum of Travnik.
Visitors can explore the fortress between 8:00 AM and 8:00 PM, with inquiries handled through the contact number +387 61 422 118.
In 1697, the castle successfully resisted a three-day military siege by Prince Eugene of Savoy without surrendering.
