The Old town of Visoki (Serbo-Croatian: Stari grad Visoki, Стари град Високи, pronounced [ʋǐsoki:]) was a medieval royal castle town built during the 14th century on the top of the hill overlooking town of Visoko, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The first mention of the town was on 1 September 1355, in the charter "in castro nosto Visoka vocatum" written by Tvrtko I of Bosnia while he was a young ban.^[1] The town was presumably abandoned before 1503, as it is not mentioned in the Turkish-Hungarian treaty from the mentioned year.^[1] In 1626, Đorđić mentioned Visoki among abandoned towns.^[1]
