Rogatica is a town in the eastern part of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), part of the entity of Republika Srpska, located in the Drina River valley about 60 kilometers east of Sarajevo. The town is situated in a valley surrounded by mountains, at an altitude of about 500 meters above sea level, and has a temperate continental climate with cold and snowy winters and mild, wet summers.
Rogatica has a long history, first documented in the 14th century, and developed as a trading hub during the Ottoman period. The city retains its 16th-century Ottoman bridges, mosques and traditional stone buildings, and is characterized by a combination of Balkan and Eastern cultures. The city was severely damaged during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina (1992-1995), but was gradually rebuilt after the war, and today the mainstay of the economy is forestry, animal husbandry and small-scale industry.
