Rogatica (Serbian Cyrillic: Рогатица, pronounced [rɔɡǎtit͡sa]) is a town and municipality in Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina. As of 2013, the municipality has a population of 10,723 inhabitants, while the town of Rogatica itself has a population of 6,855 inhabitants. The town lies on the river Rakitnica, on the magistral road between Podromanija and Ustiprača, roughly 25 kilometres (16 mi) west of Višegrad and 45 km (28 mi) east of Sarajevo. The history of Rogatica dates back to the ancient era, with typical remains of fortified settlements of the Illyrians. Medieval Borač Castle was located about 10km south from Rogatica. It was a seat of the Pavlović noble family and one of the largest fortified cities on the territory of Bosnia in the 14th and 15th centuries. Medieval artifacts from this area include numerous stećak monuments, some of exceptional historical value. Stećak from Banja Stijena and stećak Vlatka Vlađevića are preserved at the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Sarajevo. Borak stećak necropolis near Burati is included in the UNESCO World Heritage list. In 1463, the town, along with rest of the Kingdom of Bosnia, fell to the Ottoman Empire and was assigned to the Sanjak of Bosnia.
