Visočica hill


Visočica (pronounced [ʋi.sɔ̌.tʃi.tsa]) (also known as Brdo Grad ([br̩̂dɔ ɡrâːd]) (Bosnian: Hill Town) is a hill in Bosnia and Herzegovina famous as the site of the Old town of Visoki [ʋǐsɔkiː] as well the 2005 claim that it is an ancient man-made pyramid. It is 213 metres high. The idea that it constitutes an ancient artificial edifice was publicised by Houston-based expatriate Bosnian author Semir Osmanagić, but scientific investigations conclude that it is a natural geological formation known as a flatiron.

The Old town of Visoki was a famous medieval royal castle town during the fourteenth century, located in Visoko [ʋisɔkɔ], Bosnia and Herzegovina. The first mention of the town was on 1 September 1355, in the charter "in castro nosto Visoka vocatum" written by Tvrtko I of Bosnia while he was a young ban. The town appears to have been abandoned before 1503, as it is not mentioned in the Turkish-Hungarian treaty that was established that year. In the year 1626 Đorđić mentioned Visoki among abandoned towns.
