Sokolac Fortress

Stari grad Sokolac is located on the left bank of the Una and is one of the most important medieval sites in this area. It is first mentioned in historical sources in 1380.

Its origins are linked to an interesting legend about three sisters — Bika, Soka, and Vrana — who, after their father’s death, decided to build three towns. According to legend, Soka built a fortress on a hill, which was named Sokolac after her, while her sisters founded the towns from which Bihać and Vrnograč later developed.

Today, Sokolac is an attractive tourist destination reached by a well-maintained and illuminated road, suitable for evening walks, while nature lovers can also arrive via hiking trails. In addition to its historical value, this site is increasingly becoming a venue for cultural and music events, combining a rich past with modern content.
