History [ edit ]
According to documents and historical sources, the first medieval urban settlements and towns around the Una river , began to appear in the middle of the 13th century. Bihać, as the centre of Pounje, was first mentioned on 26 February 1260, in the charter of Hungarian King Bela IV , and was described as a town built on the river's Island of St. Ladislav, owned by the Benedictine abbey of Topusko . Just two years later, in 1262, Bela proclaimed Bihać a royal free city free city . At the head of the municipality was the town elder or major villae , who was often called a judge, and whose decision could only be changed by the king. Bihać also had a curia or magistrates [2] [3] [4] [5]
In 1530 Austria sent troops to defend seven key strongholds in Croatia, one of them was Bihać and another the nearby Ripač.[6] : 113 Ottomans occupied Bihać in 1592 after a 10-day siegeBosnia until the 19th century.[7] Auguste Marmont , general-governor of Illyrian Provinces on 5 May 1810.[8] Cetin . After fulfilling these goals, he withdrew from Bihac. Ottoman rule in Bihac ended de facto after the Congress of Berlin .
During World War II , the town was occupied by Axis troops and was included into the Pavelić's Independent State of Croatia (NDH). The fascist Ustashe regime committed the Genocide of the Serbs and the Holocaust . From July to September 1941, some 15,000 Serbs were massacred along with some Jews and Roma victims at the Garavice , an extermination location near Bihać. The town was the capital of a short-lived territory, the Bihać Republic , for two months in late 1942 and early 1943, until it was recaptured by German forces. Bihać returned to Bosnian territory on March 28, 1945.[9]
Bihać was besieged for three years from 1992 to 1995 during the Bosnian War .[10]
