History

Early history

In 1381, the name Bratunac was mentioned for the first time because of the direct road from Bosnia and Herzegovina to Serbia that passed through Bratunac. At the time, Bratunac was composed of five houses and had a population of roughly 30 people. In 1461, the region was conquered by the Ottomans under Mehmed II. Under Ottoman rule, it was transformed into a kasbah that included mosques, a madrasa, several mekteps, shadirvans, caravanserais, and other types of Islamic architecture. In 1878, as the Ottoman Empire fell into decline, Austro-Hungary annexed Bosnia and Herzegovina and ruled over Bratunac until its dissolution at the end of the WW1. In 1927, Bratunac became a municipality for the first time.
