The Kastel Fortress (Serbian Cyrillic: Тврђава Кастел, romanized: Tvrđava Kastel) is a fortress located in Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The fortress is medieval but is situated on the site of previous fortifications going back to Roman and even pre-Roman times. It was captured by the Ottoman Empire in 1527. The fortress is relatively well-preserved, and is one of Banja Luka's main attractions, situated on the left bank of the Vrbas river in the very center of town.[1]

Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Retrieved 17 May 2016. The fortress was surrounded on all sides by stone walls, on which were raised loopholes and watchtowers, which indicates that in the past it was very strong military fortress. Geological excavations uncovering various items and money in the city, which was also used by Romans, reinforce the idea that the fortress was located on the site of a Roman military settlement, or castra. Located at the border between the former Dalmatia and Pannonia, the castra belonged to Dalmatia, as its northernmost part. www.tbh.ba
