Maglaj Fortress, Medieval fortress in Maglaj, Bosnia and Herzegovina
The fortress contains five distinct towers, including the Širbegova, Dizdareva, Defender, Captain's, and Clock Tower, forming a strategic defensive complex.
First documented in 1408 through a charter by Hungarian King Sigismund, the fortress developed its final structure during the Ottoman administration period.
The architectural design of Maglaj Fortress demonstrates the evolution of military construction techniques from medieval Bosnian through Ottoman periods.
Located at 182 meters above sea level, the fortress requires ongoing maintenance to prevent deterioration from weather conditions and environmental factors.
The Clock Tower, measuring 17.10 meters in height at its front facade, features a square base of 3.07 meters on each side.
