Initially built in the 14th century by Bosnian King Stjepan Tvrtko I, Pocitelj always had significant strategic importance, becoming a target of many conquerors who were passing through these territories over the centuries.
Despite its turbulent past, the town has not lost any of its charm and kept the same, original form.
