Srebrenik Fortress

Srebrenik Fortress is a medieval fortress in the area of todays Srebrenik Municipality, Bosnia and Herzegovina. In December 2004, the Srebrenik Fortress was declared a National Monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The fortress was built on a rock that rises from the surrounding terrain at a height of about 50 to 70 m. There are no known historical sources that would clearly indicate the year of construction of this fortress or its builder. The oldest source in which Srebrenik is explicitly mentioned is the charter of Ban Stjepan II Kotromanić from 1333. It was located on the then important military roads, which gave the fortress strategic importance.
