After the formation of the Austro-Hungarian rule in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Travnik became an important economic and traffic centre. The Medieval Fortress „Old Town“ in Travnik is one of the most beautiful and preserved fortified objects in Bosnia and Herzegovina, on which every historical period left its specific mark.

There are no exact data in historical books and articles about the construction period of the Medieval Fortress „Old Town“ in Travnik, however, historians agree that it was built in the second half of the 14^th century or in the first half of the 15^th century. The construction type and other characteristics indicate that it was built by the order of king Tvrtko Kotromanić II, but some historians think that is is also possible that it was built by the order of King Stjepan Dabiša. Today’s fortes walls represent a result of the Turkish military builders. It was a very important military object, with great strategic significance for the military that was placed there.
