Visegrad is a Slavic toponym meaning "the upper town/castle/fort". The settlement of Visegrad was first mentioned in 1407. The area was a part of the medieval Serbian state; it was part of the Grand Principality of Serbia under the rule of Stefan Nemanja (1166 - 1196).
In the Middle Ages, Dobrun, the small settlement about 15 km from Visegrad, was home to the Dobrun Monastery, founded some time before the 1370s. The area then came under the rule of the Kingdom of Bosnia.
According to Turkish sources, in 1454, Visegrad was conquered by the Ottoman Empire, led by Osman Pasha. It remained under Ottoman rule until the Berlin Congress (1878), when Austria-Hungary took control of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
In the Ottoman period, the Mehmed Pasa Sokolovic Bridge was built by the Ottoman architect and engineer Mimar Sinan for Grand Vizier Sokollu Mehmed Pasha. Construction of the bridge took place between 1571 and 1577. The bridge still stands and is now a tourist attraction, especially after being inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage Site list.
In the Austro-Hungarian period, the Bosnian Eastern Railway from Sarajevo to Uvac and Vardiste was built through Visegrad during the Austro-Hungarian rule in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Construction of the line started in 1903. It was completed in 1906, using the 760 mm track gauge. With a cost of 75 million gold crowns, which approximately translates to 450 thousand gold crowns per kilometer, it was one of the most expensive railways in the world built by that time. The railway line was extended to Belgrade in 1928.
During World War II, on April 18, 1941, the Ustashe (a pro-fascist movement with roots in Croatia) murdered ten Serbs, including the president of Dobrun municipality. The Ustashe are a Croatian fascist and ultranationalist organization, active mostly between 1929 and 1945, formally known as the Ustasa – Croatian Revolutionary Movement. Its members murdered hundreds of thousands of Serbs, Jews, and Roma, as well as political dissidents in Yugoslavia during World War II.
Many Serbs were executed by the fascist Ustashe along the Drina Valley for a month during the Genocide of Serbs, especially near Visegrad. Ustashe killed thousands of Bosnian Serb civilians and threw their bodies into the Drina river.
In November 1941, with Italian help, the Serbian royalist Chetniks established a civil and military government in the area of Visegrad, and engaged in genocidal killing of local Bosniaks. Many civilians were executed in Visegrad in December.
During the Battle for Visegrad in October 1943, the Chetniks attacked the German garrison and captured the town whose Axis garrison had 350 dead and 400 wounded soldiers. The Yugoslav Partisans took control of Visegrad on 14 February 1945.
Visegrad is one of several towns along the River Drina in close proximity to the Serbian border. A nearby hydroelectric dam provided electricity and also controlled the level of the River Drina, preventing flooding downstream areas.
On 6 April 1992, Yugoslav artillery bombarded the town, in particular Bosniak-inhabited neighbourhoods and nearby villages. A group of Bosniak men took several local Serbs hostage and seized control of the hydroelectric dam, threatening to blow it up. Water was released from the dam causing flooding to some houses and streets. Eventually on 12 April, Yugoslav JNA commandos seized the dam. The next day the JNA took control of Visegrad, positioning tanks and heavy artillery around the town.
The population that had fled the town during the crisis returned and the climate in the town remained relatively calm and stable during the later part of April and the first two weeks of May. On 19 May 1992 the Yugoslav JNA forses officially withdrew from the town and local Serb leaders established control over Visegrad and all municipal government offices. Soon after, local Serbs, police and paramilitaries began one of the most notorious campaigns of ethnic cleansing in the conflict.
With the Dayton Agreement, which put an end to the war, Bosnia and Herzegovina was divided into two entities: the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republika Srpska, the latter of which Visegrad became part of.
The Visegrad was included as part of the narrow-gauge heritage railway Sargan Eight, an engineering masterpiece in Serbia. The narrow-gauge heritage railway Sargan Eight, originally located in Serbia close to Drvengrad, was extended to Visegrad on August 28, 2010, and is now used on special occasions.
Nowadays, Visegrad is a calm town and a very popular touristic destination, especially for Serbians, as the Serbian border is only about 20 km away, and another famous attraction from Emir Kusturica, Drvengrad, is only 27 km away from Visegrad.
