Dlamoč

Dlamoč stands at the edge of a high karst field in southwestern Bosnia, beneath the mountains that separate the interior from Dalmatia. With Livno and Duvno, it formed part of a region known as Tropolje, the Three Fields. A fortress rose above the settlement, and a Franciscan monastery stood nearby. The town was also known as Glamoč, while Ottoman records used the names Biograd and Belgradčik.

In 1357 Ban Tvrtko ceded Tropolje to King Louis of Hungary. Three decades later, with the help of Hrvoje Vukčić Hrvatinić, Tvrtko regained the area. The Ottoman conquest of Dlamoč followed in 1515, and the town was later attached to the Sanjak of Klis. A seventeenth-century Venetian account described its fortress with several towers; a century later it remained a fortified place on the Dalmatian frontier, though its artillery was scant.
