Fortress of Doboj, Medieval fortress in Doboj, Bosnia and Herzegovina
The stone fortress stands upon a hilltop at the confluence of the Bosna, Usora, and Spreča rivers, commanding views across northern Bosnia.
Built in the 13th century, the fortress changed hands between Bosnian and Hungarian forces until Ottoman conquest in 1476 brought extensive reconstruction.
The fortress hosts regular cultural events in its amphitheater, enabling visitors to experience traditional performances against the backdrop of medieval architecture.
Visitors can access the fortress daily, with guided tours available in multiple languages through the Doboj Tourist Organization office located at the entrance.
During World War I, the fortress served as a detention facility housing 45,000 prisoners, including the notable writer Ivo Andric.
