Travnik Castle, locally known as old town castle, is a medieval town-fortress complex in the city of Travnik, Central Bosnia. Dating back to pre-Ottoman Bosnia when the former Christian Kingdom ruled the region, there is no historical data as to the construction date of the Medieval fortress. However, the construction type and other characteristics indicate that it was built sometime in the second half of the 14th century or in the first half of the 15th century. As a result It was probably built during the time of the Bosnian Kings Tvrtko II or Ostoja, and then rebuilt and expanded during the time of Stephen Thomas. The Travnik fortress was erected before the arrival of the Ottoman Turks for the purpose of defense, as the Ottomans penetrated deeper into Bosnia. Travnik itself was one of a number of fortified towns in the region built for this purpose, but was built too late to stem the Ottoman advance.

The colorful mosque, or Suleimaniya, is a mosque located in Travnik, in a section called the Lower Čaršija, and is assumed to have been built in the second half of the 16th century. The mosque of the mosque's first renovator is said to have been built by Gazi-aga. In 1757, vizier Camil Ahmed-aga erected a mosque called by the inhabitants of Camili. It was burned in a fire in 1815, and in its place a new mosque was erected by Bosnian vizier Sulejman Pasha Skopljak.
She was named Colorful because of her unusual interior and exterior wall decorations. The ground floor of the mosque is stateless. Suleimania is a unique example in Ottoman architecture where the same building is used for sacral and secular purposes.
