Gradačac

Few cities in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina have a history as closely tied to Bosnia’s 19th-century autonomy movement as Gradačac. The town lies on the northern foothills of Trebava Mountain in northeastern Bosnia, where the lowlands of Bosnian Posavina meet the country’s interior hills. Its defining landmark is the Gradačac fortress and tower, associated with Husein-kapetan Gradaščević, known as the Dragon of Bosnia, who led the 1831 uprising for Bosnian autonomy within the Ottoman Empire. The Husejnija Mosque, commissioned by Gradaščević, remains another prominent reminder of that era.
