Kozograd Castle

Kozograd lies high above Fojnica on a slope of Matorac. Municipal tourism planning places its medieval remains around 1,430 metres above sea level. Its remote mountain setting distinguishes it from the urban fortresses of the atlas. The surviving site is archaeological rather than an intact palace, and stories connecting it with the royal family should be assessed against documentary evidence before reconstructing specific rooms or events.

Through the centuries

Medieval period

The mountain fortress belongs to the historical landscape of Fojnica.

Architecture & evidence

Round western keep foundation

The museum describes the larger round keep as surviving principally in plan. This study therefore leaves it low and open, rather than rebuilding a tall royal tower.

Smaller square tower

A second, smaller square tower is distinguished from the round foundation. Its exact size and placement are estimated because this local map extract contains no castle outline.

Southern terrace

Local tradition calls the southern terrace Kraljičin grič. That name is presented as tradition, not evidence for a reconstructed royal palace.

Plan your visit

Confirm the approach and present access with local heritage staff; the atlas point is approximate and is not a surveyed walking route.
