Banja Luka is the largest city in the Republika Srpska and its administrative center.
Kastel: The Kastel Fortress is located in Banja Luka and represents the oldest historical monument in this city. It was built on the left bank of the Vrbas River, between the present-day City Bridge and the confluence of the Crkvena River.
