Kljuc Castle



Ključ is a town and municipality by the same name in western Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is located in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, specifically the Una-Sana Canton. The name of the town and the municipality translates to "Key" in Bosnian/Croatian/Serbian

History
Human settlements have existed in the area before the Roman time. The town itself is first mentioned in 1322 in the documents of ban Stjepan II Kotromanić. It was conquered by the Ottoman Empire in 1463 as the last forteress of Bosnian rulers. After Dayton agreement, the pre-war municipality was divided between Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republika Srpska. Nice Place to visit if touring Europe.
