Hodidjed at Bulozi

The mapped ruins east of Sarajevo are traditionally called Hodidjed or Stari grad. The identification of the medieval Hodidjed is debated: scholars have also associated that name with the site of Sarajevo’s White Bastion. This entry stays anchored to the Bulozi ruins and follows the site plan reproduced in the University of Sarajevo architectural study. Upper enclosures and a much larger outer circuit are shown conservatively, without treating a disputed historical identification as settled.
