Vrhbosna
Vrhbosna was the medieval name of a small region in today's central Bosnia and Herzegovina, centered on an eponymous settlement that would later become part of the city of Sarajevo.[1][2][3][4]
The meaning of the name of this Slavic župa is "the peak of Bosnia". The only known fortification in the area at the time was Hodidjed.[3] The existence of a significant individual settlement of Vrhbosna was recorded in the 14th and 15th centuries.[4] Vrhbosna was first attacked by the Ottoman Empire in 1416,[4] and it was finally taken in 1451.[1][2][3][4]
Vrhbosna persisted shortly after the Ottoman conquest of Bosnia, but soon the name went out of use.[3][4] In 1550, a Venetian traveller Caterino Zeno was the first westerner to use the term Sarraglio (Italianized form of Sarajevo) instead of Vrhbosna to describe the place.[4]
Its name is preserved in the name of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Vrhbosna.
