JAJCE SINCE ITS FALL UNDER THE TURKS UNTIL THE END OF THE 16th CENTURY

Summary/Abstract: Jajce is one of rare medieval towns that has withstood the tempests of history and kept its essential quality to the present day, Since the end of the 15th century until the beginning of the 16th century, this town was in focus of not only the Bosnian but of the world historical events, too. At the beginning of the fırst quarter of the 16th century it came under the competence of the Ottoman power. Although it seemed that this town had remained beyond historically important events, we have found out that the town of Jajce was a scene of social processes which, as a result of the Ottoman policy and power, brought about radical economic, social and ethnographic changes. As a starting point we took the status and position of the town of Jajce in the medieval Bosnian State. In this work, generally-accepted attitudes and facts have been presented. It was necessary to remind ourselves of them in order to be able to follow the sequence of historical events. Although the transformation of Jajce from a medieval town into a town with Oriental characteristics was late in a way, this town kept step with all processes only in the second part of the 16th century.
