Dubica

Dubica stands on the Una in the lowlands of northwestern Bosnia. In the Middle Ages its district belonged first to the Templars and then to the Hospitallers, whose estates lay along the river. The Ottomans captured Dubica in 1538, making its fortress part of the frontier facing Habsburg lands across the Una. During later wars the town changed hands several times; in 1788 Austrian forces besieged its Ottoman garrison.
