Jajce Fortress, Medieval fortress in Jajce, Bosnia and Herzegovina
The fortress stands on a hill at the meeting point of the Pliva and Vrbas rivers, featuring defensive walls, bastions, and two prominent towers.
The fortress served as the last stronghold of the Kingdom of Bosnia until 1527 when Ottoman forces gained control over the entire region.
A sandstone portal with royal insignia marks the entrance to this national monument, which represents the power center of medieval Bosnian rulers.
The fortress remains open to visitors throughout the year, offering guided tours that explain the architectural elements from different historical periods.
The fortress complex includes a grass-covered plateau that functioned as the residence of the Bosnian royal court during the 15th century.
