stb_staro_trebinje_3.jpgThe toponym Trebinje comes from a medieval term Travunia. Trebinje was built by the Slavs, probably on the site of a Roman town laid waste by the Saracens in 840. In the mid-10th century Konstantin Porfirogenit mentioned it under the name of Terbunia. It commanded the road from Ragusa to Constantinople, traversed, in 1096, by Raymond of Toulouse and his crusaders.

staro_trebinje_1.jpgUnder the name of Tribunia or Travunja (the Trebigne of the Ragusans), it belonged to the Serbian Empire until 1355. Trebinje became a part of the expanded Medieval Bosnian state under Tvrtko I in 1373. There is a medieval tower in Gornje Police whose construction is often attributed to Djuro Agbabic. In 1482, together with the rest of Herzegovina), it was conquered by the Ottoman Empire. The Old Town-Kastel was built by Turks on location of the medieval fortress of Ban Vir, on the western bank of the Trebišnjica River.


staro_trebinje_2.jpgThe city walls, the Old Town square, and two mosques, were built in beginning of the 18th century by Resulbegovic family. The Arslanagić bridge (today Perovica Bridge) was originally built (16th century) at the village of Arslanagic, 5km north of the town, by Mehmed-paša Sokolović, and it was managed by Arslanagic family. It was moved closer to Trebinje (1km) in the late 1960's.

During the period of Austro-Hungarian administration (1878-1918) the several fortifications were built on the surrounding hills, and there was a garrison based in the town.
They also modernized the town expanding it westwards, building the present main street, as well as, several squares, park, new schools, tobacco plantations, etc.
