Jajce is city in central Bosnia with the total area of 339 km2, situated in the mountains. There is a beautiful countryside near the city, rivers such as the Vrbas and Pliva, lakes, like Pliva lake, which is also a popular destination for the local people and tourists. Jajce was first built in the 14th century and served as the capital of the independent Kingdom of Bosnia during its time. No other town in Bosnia and Herzegovina possesses so many cultural layers and architectural styles in a place so small. The Vrbas Canyon is an amazing drive if you’re heading to Banja Luka. In the other direction up the Pliva River is the greatest collection of old mills in the country . In the wide areas of the Pliva you can find many mills that were built during Ottoman times. Families in the past would gather here to work, grind wheat, wash clothes and gather water. Most of the mills are still in decent shape, some even functional, and they seem a very natural part of the landscape in this area. The town has gates as fortifications, as well as a castle with walls which lead to the various gates around the town. When the Bosnian kingdom fell to the Ottoman Empire in 1463, Jajce became the last Bosnian town taken by the Ottomans but was retaken next year by Hungarian King Matthias Corvinus. About 10–20 kilometres from Jajce lies the Komotin Castle and town area which is older but smaller than Jajce. It is believed the town of Jajce was previously Komotin but was moved after the Black Death. There are several churches and mosques built in different times during different rules, making Jajce a rather diverse town in this aspect. The 3rd-century sacred temple dedicated to the god Mitras from Roman times sits side by side with a valued example of medieval architecture - the old steeple of St Luke’s Church . Beneath the hurch are the catacombs where high priests and the nobility were buried. These sites are open to the public. The second session of the Anti-Fascist Council of the National Liberation of Yugoslavia on November 29 in Jajce, ratified that Bosnia and Herzegovina, as an equal federal unit, would enter the Democratic Federal Yugoslavia. These resolutions outlined the future democratic and federal organization of the region. The outskirts of town are blessed with an abundance of water, which is probably what made it so attractive and practical as a settlement in earlier times.
