Last reviewed: 11 May 2024 Trebinje descriptionTrebinje, a charming town in Republika Srpska, Bosnia-Herzegovina, has a rich history dating back to the 10th century. It was first mentioned in Constantine VI Porphyrogennetos' records as Travunia, a significant stop on the caravan road connecting Kotor in Montenegro and Dubrovnik in Croatia with whole Bosnia and Serbia. During the Middle Ages, Trebinje was part of the Byzantine archontia and later became the center of Travunia, a state within the kingdom of Nemanjići. In the 13th and 14th centuries, Trebinje experienced a fascinating period under the rule of Helen of Anjou, the longest-reigning sovereign in the city's history. She contributed significantly to the development of culture, establishing libraries, monasteries, and education. The Austrians later built fortresses and infrastructure, but their rule was also marked by violence, including the hanging of 79 prominent local citizens. The Ottoman Empire conquered Trebinje in 1482, and the town became an important center of Islamic culture. The old town replaced the old fortress, and Islamic elements began to shape Trebinje's architecture. The town was a hub of rebellion and uprising, with the Tvrdoš monastery often acting as the center of resistance. During the Bosnian War (1992-1995), Trebinje was a major command and artillery base for Bosnian Serb forces. The town was declared the capital of the self-proclaimed Serbian Autonomous Region of Herzegovina, and Bosniak residents were conscripted to fight or fled the region. Ten of the town's mosques were destroyed during the war, leaving a lasting impact on the town's cultural heritage. Today, Trebinje is a blend of its complex history, with a mix of Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian, and Serbian influences. The town's old town, known as Kastel, features ancient city walls, bridges, and leafy squares, making it a charming destination for tourists. Visitors can explore the town's rich cultural heritage, including the Serbian Orthodox church, the Hercegovačka Gračanica monastery, and the Osman-Paša Resulbegović mosque, and walk over historic Ottoman Arslanagic bridge from 16th-century. Trebinje is a hidden gem, often overlooked by tourists flocking to nearby Dubrovnik. However, this charming town has a lot to offer, from its picturesque old town to its lively markets selling fresh produce, flowers, and books. Visitors can explore the town's ancient city walls, bridges, and leafy squares, getting a glimpse into its rich history. The town's old town, known as Kastel, is a must-visit, with its beautifully renovated houses and historic gate. The main square, Freedom Square, features a monument to the liberators and a fountain dedicated to Lieutenant General Đuro Baron Babić. The square is surrounded by plane trees, a heritage from the Austro-Habsburg Empire, and is home to the daily Green Market. Trebinje is easily accessible from Dubrovnik, Croatia, and Herceg-Novi, Montenegro, making it an ideal day trip or longer stay. The town has a range of affordable hotels and a vibrant cultural scene, including the Music & More SummerFest, which showcases concerts and academies led by world-renowned classical musicians. With its unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty, Trebinje is a must-visit destination in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Famous Tvrdoš Serbian Orthodox monastery is located just in 5km drive from Trebinje. The 4th-century foundations of the first Roman church on the site are still visible. Today, the monastery is renowned for its wine production (in particular from the local Vranac and Žilavka grape varieties) and its wine cellars, one of which dates to the 15th century,[2] which are a popular tourist attraction.
