Geography

It is located close to the border with Croatia, lying on hillside terrain above the Korana river and its right tributary Mutnica. The climate is medium continental, with cold winters and warm summers.

History

Throughout its history, Tržac appeared for the first time in the 11th century as a settlement in the central part of medieval Kingdom of Croatia. From the 13th century the village and its surrounding area (including Tržac Castle) were owned by members of the prominent Croatian Frankopan family, even giving the name to one of the family branches (Tržački). The Ottoman Empire under Hasan Predojević conquered it by the end of the 16th century, pushing the Croatian defenders to the west, and converting the local population to Islam thus populating the area with Muslim inhabitants. In the following centuries this area was called Turkish Croatia and finally renamed to Bosanska Krajina in the 19th century.
