Kušlat Fortress

Kušlat occupies a steep rock above the meeting of the Jadar and Drinjača south of Zvornik. The municipal tourism organisation presents it as a medieval fortified site whose later garrison included a mosque. The conspicuous mosque is only one element of the former stronghold; the ruined defensive circuit requires further mapping. The sharp landform and valley routes explain the site's strategic position.

Through the centuries

Medieval–Ottoman

A fortified cliff site continues in use as an Ottoman garrison.

Architecture & evidence

Restored mosque

The published architectural account describes a small 6.8 by 6.5 m mosque with a steep roof and short timber minaret.

Fortress remnants

Mapped ruins are shown as small wall fragments, not a complete reinstated fortress.

Cliff approach

The mosque stands on a cliff above the Jadar–Drinjača confluence. The local rock profile is interpreted to recover the pinnacle absent from coarse elevation data.

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.
