Experience zenica
Zenica is a city in Bosnia and Herzegovina and an administrative and economic center of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina's Zenica-Doboj Canton. It is located in the Bosna river valley, about 70 km north of Sarajevo. The city is known for its Ironworks Zenica factory but also as a significant university center.
The urban part of today's city was formed in several phases, including Neolithic, Illyrian, the Roman Municipium of Bistua Nuova (2nd-4th century; old name of the city), with an early Christian dual basilica. Traces of an ancient settlement have been found here as well; villa rustica, thermae, a temple, and other buildings were also present. Earliest findings in the place date from the period 3000-2000 BC; they were found in the localities of Drivuša and Gradišće. Zenica's current name was first mentioned in 1415.
