Safikada's Tomb

Safikada's Tomb, Ottoman tomb near Kastel Fortress in Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Safikada's Tomb is a stone memorial near the Kastel fortress walls in Banja Luka, in a street leading toward the fortress. Archaeologist Boris Grajluk dated the monument to the late 16th century based on the stonework, clamps and the monumental slab. A 1987 reconstruction found a human skeleton about one metre below the lower edge of the memorial, laid west-east.

Archaeologist Boris Grajluk dated the tombstone to the late 16th century, based on the stone's structure, clamps and carving. A 1987 reconstruction found a human skeleton one metre below the lower edge of the memorial, laid west-east. The turbe in the Ferhadija complex was destroyed with the mosque in 1993, while this grave near the Kastel walls survives.

Visitors come here to light candles and remember Safikada, a young woman whose love for an Ottoman soldier was forbidden by her family. People share their own stories of love and loss at this place.

The tomb sits directly beside the river and remains accessible throughout the year. Its location next to the fortress makes it easy to visit while exploring the city's historical sites.

Archaeologist Boris Grajluk's 1987 report on the tomb's reconstruction records a human skeleton one metre below the slab, laid west to east; from the stonework, clamps and monumental slab he dated the grave to the late 16th century.
