Welcome to

Gračanica

The downtown bazaar (čaršija) at the foot of the medieval town of Soko has preserved the traditional crafts for half a millennium. And the rich cultural and historical heritage, beautiful landscapes and the famous hospitality of Gračanica will remain deeply etched in the memory of all who visit.

The čaršija itself is a picturesque place immersed in greenery, a place of rich history and tradition and one of the old Bosnian bazaars whose authentic spirit has survived to this day. Numerous cultural and historical monuments now testify to this rich history and tradition.

The Clock Tower is a cultural and historical building over 300 years old and is 27 meters high, making it the second highest in Bosnia and Herzegovina after the Clock Tower in Sarajevo. It was declared a national monument in 2002.

In the mid-1980s, the Homeland Collection was formed with a significant collection of archaeological, historical, ethnological and numismatic material and since 2005 it remains open to the public as a permanent exhibition in the Bosnian Cultural Centre. The Homeland Collection changed its name to the Homeland Museum Collection and Gallery and received its own special space and permanent setting.

The accumulation of thermal mineral waters around the Spreča Fault is one of the largest, not only in BiH but in the Balkans. In addition to its energy potential, thermal mineral water has a wide range of applications in health care, rehabilitation and tourism. A prominent tourist resource based on the healing properties of thermal mineral water is the Terme spa in Gračanica.
