Rudo (Serbian Cyrillic: Рудо) is a town and municipality in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the Republika Srpska entity. It appears in Ivo Andrić's story "The Beys of Rudo." It's famous throughout former Yugoslav republics as the birthplace of the 1st Proletarian Brigade formed by Yugoslav Partisans.
The town of Rudo was established in 1555 by Sokollu Mustafa Pasha, a close relative of Ottoman Vizier Sokollu Mehmed Pasha. A stone mosque, bridge over the Lim, hamam, inn, mekteb (school), tekke, some shops and houses were built. It was mentioned by Evliya Çelebi (1611–1682). It was flooded in 1896, and then expanded into an urban settlement. The 1st Proletarian Brigade of the Yugoslav Partisans was established in Rudo on 22 December 1941. A monument dedicated to the Brigade was erected in 1961.
