History
To be translated:
Ime Vranduk se prvi put spominje 1410. Ovo područje je uvijek bilo od geostrateškog značaja. Uloga Vranduka je bila da kontrolira saobraćaj iz pravca Panonske nizije (Mađarska i Austrija) preko rijeke Bosne, pa do Jadrana.
Vranduk je samo jedan od mnogih srednjovjekovnih bosanskih gradova, koji se nalaze u ovom regionu koji je predstavljao područje sa vrlo bogatim političkim, ekonomskim i kulturnim životom. |

Stari grad se sastoji od citadele sa glavnim tornjem i ostacima zidina, koje su opasavale središte srednjovjekovnog grada. Vrlo blizu tornja je sagrađena džamija Sultana Mehmeda Fatiha. Prema nekim podacima, ona je sagrađena na ostacima srednjovjekovne crkve. Danas postoji i tunel, sagrađen u Drugom svjetskom ratu, i on se nalazi ispod Vranduka. |
