Papaz Kula (part of the fortress wall)

The medieval town Jajce occupies a conical hill crowned by a 14^th century citadel and around the old city runs the fortress walls with several gates leading into the old town. One of the main gates, the Banja Luka gate, had damages in the fortress wall above the gate opening due to poor repair. The wall had large cracks and parts of the wall had started to fall down. When this kind of erosion once has started it will continue and therefore the wall was in great need of restoration.

The municipality contacted CHwB with the question if they could undertake a restoration of the wall. Additionally it was necessary to engage experts in stone conservation from Sweden.

The aims were to continue the re-establishment of one of Bosnia-Herzegovina’s historically most valuable townscapes and to improve the competence regarding stone conservation. This knowledge and experience could be used on the other parts of the fortress wall enclosing the old city core of Jajce, as well as on other stone structures in the country.
