About Visegrad

Visegrad is the most internationally celebrated literary landscape in Bosnia and Herzegovina and one of the most architecturally distinguished small towns in the Balkans -- a town of 11,000 inhabitants 124km east of Sarajevo Airport on the Drina River at the Serbian border, whose extraordinary literary heritage as the setting of Ivo Andric's 'The Bridge on the Drina' (the most internationally translated and most widely read Bosnian literary work in the world, the novel that won the Nobel Prize for Literature alongside Andric's other works in 1961, the most celebrated fictional treatment of the most important single bridge in Balkan history -- the Mehmed Pasha Sokolovic Bridge at Visegrad, a monument of such literary and architectural significance that it was inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007, the most internationally recognised single building in Bosnia and Herzegovina) and the Mehmed Pasha Sokolovic Bridge (the UNESCO World Heritage bridge of 1571-1577, built by the greatest Ottoman architect Mimar Sinan for the Grand Vizier Mehmed Pasha Sokolovic -- the most important Ottoman bridge in the Balkans and the most architecturally distinguished single structure in Bosnia and Herzegovina, its 11 stone arches spanning the emerald green Drina in the most perfectly composed bridge-and-river landscape in southeastern Europe) give it a literary and architectural heritage of world significance directly enshrined in the UNESCO and Nobel Prize record.

Visegrad's most important natural setting is the Drina River canyon (the most beautiful river in Bosnia and Herzegovina and one of the most spectacularly clear and most ecologically pristine rivers in the Balkans -- the Drina described as the most beautifully coloured river in Europe, its extraordinary emerald green water the result of the most exceptional combination of limestone geology and forest filtration, the Drina canyon near Visegrad the most photogenic stretch of the entire river, the Visegrad hydroelectric dam creating the most dramatic artificial lake in eastern Bosnia). The Andrici Village (the recreated Ottoman-era village heritage complex immediately outside Visegrad, the most completely assembled collection of traditional Bosnian wooden architecture from the Andric literary period, the most authentically staged literary heritage landscape in the Balkans) and the Tara-Drina Canyon National Park (immediately across the river in Serbia -- the most dramatic canyon national park in the western Balkans, the most important European habitat for the griffon vulture, the most spectacular river canyon scenery accessible from any Bosnian border crossing) give the Visegrad area a natural and heritage identity of extraordinary richness on the confluence of two countries.
