Stari grad Srebrenik

Srebrenik Fortress is one of the best-preserved medieval strongholds in BiH, set on a high, steep rock above the valley of the Tinja. It stands in Gornji Srebrenik, on the slopes of Majevica, not far from the town of Srebrenik. The rock towers up to seventy metres above its surroundings, and the fortress can be reached only by a bridge over a deep cut – which is why it was almost impregnable. Behind its mighty ramparts are four towers, a small palace, a cistern and dwellings, all raised in one campaign.

Srebrenik was the home of the Bosnian ban Stjepan II Kotromanić, and from here the famous Srebrenik Charter was issued in 1333, one of the oldest surviving documents of the Bosnian state. Through the centuries it changed masters and saw many conflicts; today, as a national monument, it offers an unforgettable view over the valley and a vivid picture of medieval Bosnia.
