About Travnik

Travnik is the most historically distinguished provincial city in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the most important Ottoman administrative centre outside Sarajevo -- a town of 55,000 inhabitants 94km northwest of Sarajevo Airport in the upper Lasva valley, whose extraordinary heritage as the seat of the Ottoman Viziers of Bosnia (Travnik served as the residence of the Viziers of the Ottoman province of Bosnia from 1699 to 1850 -- the most important period of Ottoman administrative history in the Balkans outside Istanbul, the seat of the most powerful single governor in the Bosnian pashalik for 150 years, its urban tissue from this period the most completely preserved Ottoman administrative townscape in Bosnia, more complete and more intact than Sarajevo's own administrative heritage from the same period) and the birthplace of Ivo Andric (the most celebrated and most internationally acclaimed writer in the history of South Slavic literature, the 1961 Nobel Prize laureate in Literature -- the only Yugoslav and the most internationally recognised Balkan writer ever to receive the Nobel Prize, born in Travnik in 1892, his novel 'Bosnian Chronicle' set directly in Travnik and portraying the Vizier's court -- the most important single literary work set in any Bosnian city, his 'Bridge on the Drina' the most internationally translated Bosnian literary work in existence) give it a literary and Ottoman heritage of extraordinary cultural prestige.

Travnik's most celebrated physical heritage is the Travnik Fortress (the most completely preserved medieval fortress in central Bosnia, its walls climbing the hill above the Lasva valley in the most dramatically composed fortress profile in Bosnia's interior, commanding the most strategically important valley pass in central Bosnia) and the Coloured Mosque (the Sarena dzamija -- the most ornately decorated mosque in Bosnia and Herzegovina, its facade and interior covered in the most elaborate floral and geometric painted decoration of any mosque in the former Yugoslav space, the most visually distinctive single religious building in central Bosnia, built in 1757 during the height of Travnik's Vizier period). The Plava Voda (the most beautiful and most photographed natural spring in central Bosnia -- the 'Blue Water', a series of crystal springs at the base of the Vilenica hill whose brilliant turquoise colour makes them the most visually striking natural feature in the Travnik urban area, the most photographed single natural feature in the Lasva valley) and the proximity of the Vlasic Mountain (15km north -- the most important ski and hiking mountain in central Bosnia, the most popular summer mountain escape from Travnik) give the town a natural and architectural identity of the most complete and most beautiful kind in the Bosnian interior.
