Konjic is a town between Sarajevo and Mostar on the Neretva river in the Herzegovina region of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The early history of Konjic dates back 4 millennia, with remains of various settlements dating back 2000 years ago found along the Neretva river. Its existence was first recorded by the Republic of Ragusa in 1382. The city was later incorporated in the Ottoman Empire, which left it Islamic architecture and its Ottoman bridge. During Austro-Hungarian occupation, Konjic adopted a European architectural style which forms a blend with Ottoman architecture as seen in many cities and towns around Herzegovina.
After the First World War, which started in nearby Sarajevo with the assassination of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand, Konjic became part of Yugoslavia. During the Cold War, the city was selected by president Josip Broz Tito for his military command center, therefore known as Tito's Bunker, which is today its best known tourist attraction. The bunker openend in May 2011 for the first edition of the Bijenale, a bi-annual contemporary art exhibition in the bunker.
