Glamoč Fortress, Medieval fortress on Staretina mountain slopes in Glamoč, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Glamoč Fortress is a ruined medieval castle situated on the slopes of Mount Staretina north of town. The site features defensive walls and stone structures arranged to provide clear sightlines across the valleys and surrounding landscape for surveillance and protection.

The site began as a medieval fortress in the 14th century. Under Ottoman rule it was called Biograd or Belgradčik until 1833, when a census recorded 11 guns, 4 of them defective, plus ammunition, lead, barley and proja. A captaincy existed after 1624, held by the Ćirić and then Jakirlić families; the last captain, Hasan, is mentioned in 1818. The fort was abandoned in 1851 and partly demolished in 1882.

The fortress reflects the medieval military heritage of the region and holds importance as a national monument that connects locals to their past. The remaining stone structures show how people organized their defense and controlled movement through the valleys below.

Wear sturdy hiking boots as the paths are steep and rocky with loose stones. Begin your walk from town early in the day to allow plenty of time for climbing and exploring the ruins in good daylight.
