Kraljeva Sutjeska description

Royal Court in Sutjeska was a medieval Bosnian court, residence and administrative seat of the Bosnian king, from mid-fourteenth to mid-fifteenth century.

Franciscan monastery Kraljeva Sutjeska, established in 14th century, currently includes also a museum in which it houses historical treasures and a library which keeps rare and valuable historical records. There are around 11,000 works in the library. The earliest parish register is preserved since 1641.

The mosque in Kraljeva Sutjeska, known as Mehmed II Fatih mosque, claimed to be the oldest in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Mehmed II, commonly known as Mehmed the Conqueror, was an Ottoman Sultan who ruled from August 1444 to September 1446, and then later from February 1451 to May 1481. At the age of 21, he conquered Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul) and brought an end to the Byzantine Empire.

Bobovac, medieval Bosnia and Herzegovina fortified city with a castle, was the residency of the Bosnian kings during medieval times and the site of the mausoleum of the royals. The city was built during the reign of Stephen II, Ban of Bosnia, and was first mentioned in a document dating from 1349. It shared the role of seat of the rulers of Bosnia with Kraljeva Sutjeska, however Bobovac was much better fortified. The crown jewels of Bosnia were held in Bobovac. The royal chapel consisted the burial chamber for several Bosnian kings and queens.
