This article appears in Volume V28, Page 146 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VIR-WAT
VISOKO (or VISOKI) , a town of Bosnia, on the river Bosna, 15 M. N.W. of
Serajevo
  by
rail
 . Pop. (1895), about 5000.
Visoko
  has a brisk
trade
  in
leather
 , carpets and tobacco.
Between the 13th and 16th centuries
Visoko
  was only second to
Jajce
  as a stronghold of the Bosnian rulers. There were fortified palaces at Sutje6ka, and Bobovac, among the mountains on the
north
 . Bobovac, which had withstood many previous assaults, was betrayed to the Turks in 1463; at Sutjecka there is a Franciscan monastery, founded in 1391, often razed by the Turks, and finally rebuilt in '821. Just below Visoko lay the town of Podvisoko, called Sotto Visochi by the Ragusans, which was the
chief
  mart of the country from 1348 to 1430.
