Summary/Abstract: As a common and widespread name in the Slavic world, Biograd represents a settlement that stood out in its surroundings and therefore bore a recognizable name. Three Biograds existed on the territory of Herzegovina in the Middle Ages: near Konjic, Nevesinje and Trebinje. They were formed geostrategically on important communications and are continuous expressions of population in all phases of the past. Preserved archival indicators in the developed Middle Ages make it possible to trace the fortress complex for Biograd in Konji and Nevesinj, which also have their own suburbs, while Biograd in Trebinje was then at the level of a rural settlement.
