The medieval town Kljuc consists of 3 parts: a) the Lubica Tower from the 13th century, b) the Ottoman tower camp, c) the medieval town on the Sana River (this is lower part of the town with capitula, palace, garden.
The history of Kljuc starts when the Romans here build a fort, which today cannot be determined more precisely when it was founded.
The Kljuc itself and the entire area around became important when the Ottomans invaded the center of the Bosnia kingdom. The last Bosnian king, Stjepan Tomasevic, tried to find refuge in Kljuc in 1463. Exactly here, under the ancient town Kljuc, the last fight between the Bosnian and Ottoman forces took a place. Bosnian forces lost, the king was was captured, and that mean the end of the independence of the medieval Bosnian state. The Ottomans took a control over Kljuc in 1463 and held it until 1878. Bosnia become part of the great Ottoman Empire.
