Cazin is a city and
municipality in northwest Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Bosanska Krajina
region, near the border with Croatia. It is located in the Una-Sana Canton of
the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The municipality is often also called
Cazinska Krajina. The town of Cazin is located on the main road which connects
Bihać and Velika Kladuša.
About 26km from
Bihac, in a quiet valley surrounded by a picturesque hilly landscape, lies
Cazin. Its old town, or carsija, is its heart and it has a lovely little brook
cutting it through the middle.
Although small in
size, Cazin has played a significant role in the country's history. Since the
14th century it has been a strategic point for the foreign powers that lusted
after the land of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The medieval remains
of Ostrozac, Pecigrad, Radetina Tower, Stijena and Trzac dominate the town. The
most beautiful and impressive is Ostrozac Castle. Built in a neo-gothic style,
Ostrozac is one of the main attractions in Una Sana canton.
