Visiting the Fortress in Jajce gives you a completely new perspective of seeing the town. The Fortress is located above the city, 470 metres above the sea level. The view which is provided from the walls of the Fortress towards Jajce and the old town, exudes the ambience of \u00a0the old bosnian houses. It is assumed that the Fortress was existing already in 13th Century, and it was constructed and repaired during several centuries.<\/p>\n
Next to the entrance to Fortress \u00a0there is a portal with a Royal coat of arms of the family Kotromanic from the 15th Century. It is the only preserved Royal portal in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Thetre is a gunpowder maga- zine inside the Fortress, built in the late 18th and early 20th Century, and water reservoar from the time of Austro-Hungarian rule.<\/p>\n
