However, for entry and a closer look, visitors need to give notice of their visit in advance by contacting the Ethnological Museum of Jajce.

[2] Hrvoje Vukčić Hrvatinić, at the height of his power, founded the town of Jajce,[3] and built a fortress on the site of an earlier fort.

Skenderbeg Mihajlović besieged Jajce again in 1501, which, although the siege was unsuccessful, marked the approaching demise of the town and the Hungarian rule in Bosnia.

There are several churches and mosques built at different times during different reigns, making Jajce a rather diverse town in this aspect.

During the Second World War, Jajce gained importance as centre of a large swath of free territory, and on 29 November 1943 it hosted the second convention of the Anti-Fascist Council of National Liberation of Yugoslavia (AVNOJ).

At the end of April and the beginning of May 1992, almost all ethnic Serbs fled or were expelled to the territory under Republika Srpska control.

Retreating forces were joined by a column of 30,000 to 40,000 civilian refugees, stretching 16 kilometres (10 miles) towards Travnik, under VRS sniping and shelling.

[8] Bosniak refugees resettled in Central Bosnia, while Croats moved either to Croatia or closer to the Croatian border due to rising tensions.

It is presumed that the Orthodox church was demolished on 10–11 October by members of the so-called "Krajina Brigade" within the Army of BiH.

By 1992, all religious buildings in Jajce had been destroyed, except for two mosques whose perilous positioning on a hilltop had made them unsuitable for demolition.

[10] Jajce was re-captured together with Bosanski Petrovac in mid-September 1995 during Operation Mistral 2 by the Croatian Defence Council (HVO),[11] after VRS forces had evacuated the Serb population.

Dario Kordić surrendered and was flown to the Hague following political pressure on Zagreb, particularly by the United States.

The main project of the company was to renovate old traditional houses which symbolize the panoramic view of the town with the waterfall.

[14][15] Jajce was a popular tourist destination in Yugoslav times, mostly due to the historical importance of the AVNOJ session.
