Abstract

Bosnia and Herzegovina has a very rich and turbulent history. Silent witnesses of many events are long-built fortresses. They originated in different centuries and under different circumstances. Studying the history of the territories of Bosnia and Herzegovina requires the use of many historical sources. Cadastral maps, which show the fortresses, provide a great help in researching history. The paper investigates five Bosnia and Herzegovina’s fortresses built in the Middle Ages, which are represented on analog cadastral maps of the old and new surveys. The maps were made in different periods, with different equipment and different technical regulations, but with the same purpose.
