Cazin Old Town
Cazin was a fortified residence of the bishops of Knin. Its role grew after the fall of Knin in 1522, and the Ottoman garrison later belonged to the Ostrožac captaincy. Surviving walls and a later mosque share the summit; the model separates these periods rather than inventing a medieval palace.

Medieval period
Early defensive phase represented by surviving or documented masonry.
Ottoman period
Frontier garrisons and subsequent alterations reshape the site.
Architecture & evidence
Later hilltop mosque
The mosque is a later layer within the old fort. Its approximate exterior uses the published rectangular proportions; the medieval bishop’s residence is not reconstructed.
Southern wall projections
Conserved southern masonry includes small rounded projections. Their height and local stonework are estimates.
Outer terrace
Lower Ottoman defenses survive unevenly around the summit. This short terrace illustrates the separate outer circuit.
