Travnik straddles the Lašva River in central Bosnia, and its enclosed valley below Mount Vlašić helped establish the town as a strategic administrative centre. From 1699 until the mid-19th century, it was the seat of Bosnia’s Ottoman viziers, a role reflected in its old quarter, mosques and hilltop Travnik Fortress. The Sulejmanija Mosque, commonly called the Colourful Mosque, is among its best-known Ottoman monuments. Nobel Prize-winning writer Ivo Andrić was born here in 1892, and his novel Bosnian Chronicle is set in Travnik during the Napoleonic era.
