Gradačac Castle, Medieval fortress in Gradačac, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The fortification features 18-meter high defensive walls and a central 22-meter watchtower that overlooks the surrounding northeastern Bosnian landscape.

Built between 1765 and 1821, the castle gained prominence under Husein Kapetan Gradaščević who led a resistance movement against Ottoman control in 1831.

The castle incorporates vernacular and Ottoman architectural elements, including sturdy lower bastions and a mosque within its perimeter walls.

The castle complex contains a restaurant serving regional dishes, with guided tours available throughout the facility during regular opening hours.

Near the entrance gate stands a stone tower that leans at an unusual angle, constructed upon original Roman foundations dating from antiquity.

Location: Tuzla Canton

Architectural style: vernacular architecture, Ottoman architecture
