Vrhbosna
Vrhbosna ( sr-cyrl, Врхбосна, ) was the medieval name of a small region in today's central Bosnia and Herzegovina, centered on an eponymous settlement ( župa) that would later become part of the city of Sarajevo. The meaning of the name of this Slavic župa is "the peak of Bosnia". The only known fortification in the area at the time was Hodidjed. The existence of a significant individual settlement of Vrhbosna was recorded in the 14th and 15th centuries. Vrhbosna was first attacked by the Ottoman Empire in 1416, and it was finally taken in 1451. Vrhbosna persisted shortly after the Ottoman conquest of Bosnia in the name of local ''vilayet'', but soon the name went out of use. In 1550, a Venetian traveller Caterino Zeno was the first westerner to use the term ''Sarraglio'' (Italianized form of Sarajevo) instead of Vrhbosna to describe the place. It is nowadays known as the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vrhbosna The Metropolitan Archdiocese of Vrhbosna (also know ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

History Of Sarajevo
This article is about the history of Sarajevo in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Ancient history The present day site of Sarajevo has a long and rich history dating back to the Stone Age. There were no people in the region in the Paleolithic era, although the remains of ancient animals have been found, including those of the ancient bear species, ''Ursus spelaeus''.

Ottoman Conquest Of Bosnia
The Ottoman conquest of Bosnia and Herzegovina was a process that started roughly in 1386, when the first Ottoman attacks on the Kingdom of Bosnia took place. In 1451, more than 65 years after its initial attacks, the Ottoman Empire officially established the Bosansko Krajište (Bosnian Frontier), an interim borderland military administrative unit, an Ottoman frontier, in parts of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In 1463, the Kingdom fell to the Ottomans, and this territory came under its firm control. Herzegovina gradually fell to the Ottomans by 1482. It took another century for the western parts of today's Bosnia to succumb to Ottoman attacks, ending with the capture of Bihać in 1592. Origins and etymology The entire territory that is today known as Bosnia and Herzegovina was not conquered by the Ottoman Empire at once, in a single battle; rather, it took the Ottoman Empire several decades to conquer it.
