The area of today's Visoko is considered to be a nucleus from where Bosnian statehood was developed in 10th century.[1] The expanded valley of the river Bosna around today's Visoko was the biggest agriculture area in central Bosnia, so fertile ground around Visoko was ideal for development of early political center of Bosnian nobility.[2][3]
The settlement that was in Visoko field has been associated with the name Bosnia for a long time, only since the 1350s has the name Visoki became widely used.[4] Visoko and its valley with Mile, Moštre and Podvisoki was an early center of the Bosnian medieval state, and the site where the first Bosnian King Tvrtko I was crowned. The old town of Visoki, located on Visočica hill, was a politically important fortress,[5] and its inner bailey, Podvisoki, was an early example of a Bosnian medieval urban area.[6]
