The medieval fortress of Samobor, the tower of Herceg Stefan Vukčić Kosača is most responsible for the origin, survival and development of this region. Two years later, in 1446, Herceg Stefan built the church of St. George ten kilometers upstream, in Donja Sopotnica. In the period from 1519 to 1521, there was a Cyrillic printing house (Štamparija Božidar Goraždanin), the second oldest in the Balkans, and the first in today’s Republic of Srpska and Bosnia and Herzegovina..
