Visit Old Town Travnik
Travnik’s old town is a medieval building from the Bosnian Kingdom era. It is a national memorial and is under protection. Nama Its first name Garbun comes from the old Illyrian language and means “the castle on the hill”. The name Travnik comes from the word “the one who pays the taxes on livestock grazing”. In the time of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it was called Kastel/Kaštel/Castle. Nowadays, the castle is called “Stari grad” (eng. Old Town). There are claims that this Old town was built on demand from king Tvrtko II Kotromanić or king Stjepan Dabiša. The first ever written data on Travnik’s existence was from 1464 when Ottoman troops led by sultan Mehmed II Fatih, settled in Travnik on their way to the conquest of the city of Jajce.
