Archaeological research in and around Livno has uncovered human settlements from over 4,000 years ago. Many of these finds are located at Duman, a large karst cave that is the source of the River Bistrica. This source greatly resembles the one found in Blagaj where the Buna River originates. Livno is situated in the Livanjsko field which is the largest field in the entire Bosnia-Herzegovina. The field is situated between the mountains Dinara and Kamesnica in the south, Tusnica in the east, Cincar in the north and Sator in the west. Livanjsko field is 405 km2 (156 sq mi), making it almost half of the Livno municipality. In the late Bronze Age, the Neolithic population was replaced by more Indo-European tribes known as the Illyrians. The region was inhabited by Illyrian tribe of Dalmatae which capital was Delminium in today's Tomislavgrad. They left remains that testify about their presence in this area. The most important of them are the gradine, remains of Illyrian settlements which were distributed along the Livno Field. It is most likely that the indigenous Illyrian tribes built the first fortifications atop these cliffs, and the Romans, Slavs and Ottomans later reinforced them. After the Roman conquest of the area, it was part of the province of Dalmatia. During the twenties of the first century AD, Roman government built a road connecting Salona, a city on the coast with Servitium, a city at the peripanonic lowlands. Its route passed through the Livno Field where two road stations have been established. Livno celebrates its founding date as 28 September 892 AD, being mentioned in a document from Duke Mutimir which was released at that time. It was the centre of Hlebiana province of the Kingdom of Croatia, as mentioned in the tenth century work De Administrando Imperio. From 1326 until 1463 Livno was part of the Bosnian Kingdom. Ottoman Empire advance, invade, and occupy Bosnia for the next 400 years. Mosque complex is situated on a hill overlooking the old town of Livno, the river Bistrica and the spring Duman in the upper section of the old town of Livno. The mosque complex consists of a compact main building of the mosque under a dome and uncharacteristically short minaret, with a clock tower which was erected around 1659, and is still in use today. Within the perimeter is an almost 500-year-old necropolis with characteristic early Bosnian Muslim tombstones and later ones. The great rush of water from the caves made it an ideal location for powering mills. The Ottomans built a lovely stone arched bridge over the Duma. In 1878, Livno was occupied by Austro-Hungarian forces. Soldiers from Dalmatia and an infantry division from Osijek fiercely fought against 3,000 Ottoman and Muslim militias around Livno, finally capturing the town on September 27. The Congress of Berlin approved of Austro-Hungarian rule in Bosnia-Herzegovina that year. From 1918 it was part of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. In 1929 the kingdom was renamed the Kingdom of Yugoslavia After the end of World War II, Livno was a part of Socialist Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina in Yugoslavia. After its collapse in 1991 and during the Bosnian War, it was under control of Croat Republic of Herzeg-Bosnia. The Washington Agreement saw to the end of Herzeg-Bosnia, and Livno became a part of the Federation of Bosnia-Herzegovina. Interesting, the southern parts of the mountain Cincar, plateau Kruzi are home for herd of more than 700 wild horses for more than half of century.
