Kastel Fortress, Medieval fortress in Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The stone fortress spans 48,000 square meters with thick defensive walls, watchtowers, and artillery positions along the Vrbas River bank.
Archaeological excavations revealed ancient Roman settlements, including a military camp called Castra and multiple artifacts dating back to the 4th century BC.
The fortress hosts an open-air summer stage for concerts, a children's playground, and the Kamena Kuća cultural center within its walls.
Visitors can explore the underground passages, defense systems, and dine at Restaurant Kazamat, which serves local dishes inside the fortress.
The site contains archaeological layers spanning from the early Stone Age through twenty centuries, including an ancient necropolis with non-traditional burial customs.
