Jajce is amazing. Someday this town will be a major major tourist sight.
These falls are at the foot of old town. I am styaing in (the only old town) hotel right next to the VERY yellow building you can barely see in the upper mid-right. I walked thought the gates and over the bridge to take this.
This is the "Travnik Gate" in Jajce. So Jajce was the capital of the old Bosnian Kingdom. The last King ruled here, and Jajce couldn't be taken by the Ottoman's. It didn't turn Ottoman until the late 1590s (about 75 years after everything else). It isn't clear if the town finally fell, or when the last King died, then gave up.
This is a hike up from the Travnik Gate to the Castle (at the top). As I walked up, the Castle counter guy told me that the Castle was closed. But the woman at the fourth house down ont he left had the key to the gates if I wanted to go in.
This view is from the bridge. Okay, at the top is the Castle of many of (and the last of) the Kings of Bosnia - circa 1350 - 1590s. The Italianate Campela is St. Luck's tower and church. It dates from the 1500s. The church is a ruin (no roof), but the bell tower is still standing. Odd.
Thhe bright yellow buidling next to it is the local culture center museum - open when I was there, but not staffed? Not much to it, but I took 3 postcards and left my 3KM.
The less bright yellow building next to that is the Moslem Boy's School. But I am not sure if it is a school or a "home for boys" like an orphanage - it isn't clear and I didn't want to ask.
Jajce was the last town to fall ot the Ottoman's AND the last town the Croats took back before the Dayton accords. It was first overrun by the Serbs, who cleansed the Moslems (some of the first war crimes were in these Moslem camps). Then it was retaken by the Croats / Catholics (that is how they reference them in the signs). They it turned over twice more before the Dayton Accords left it in Catholic hands.
