Tesnjar is the old part of the town built in Turkish times. It is squized between the river

bed of the Kolubara river and the hill and it is assumed that therefore it was named like that.

In the 19th century it was the center of Valjevo. With many shops and cra shops it

represented a trade-cra quarter of the town,called „carsĳa“.Today this quarter of the town is one of the few urban units of the 19th century preserved

in Serbia in which still can be found many cra shops (poery,harness,weaving shop)

thanks to which one can feel the spirit of old times.

Tesnjar has been many times the location for the filming of domestic and foreign movies.

event „Tesnjar Evenings“.

Through history

The oldest traces of humans in this area date from the Paleolithic period and were discovered in the nearby

Petnica cave. In the first centuries of the new era the space of today’s Valjevo was part of the Roman Empire and

aer its fall within the framework of the Byzantine Empire. Of the survived wrien documents that mention

Valjevo the oldest was discovered in the Dubrovnik archive and dates back to the year of 1393. Valjevo was

emerged as a medieval square at the crossroads which was visited by famous merchants of Dubrovnik.

The recent history of the town shows that Valjevo was one of the first among larger liberated places in the

First Serbian Uprising against the Ooman Empire, on March 20, 1804. This day symbolizes the aspiration for

freedom of Valjevo inhabitants and is considered as the beginning of the development of European architecture

and spirit in the town. This date is celebrated as the Municipality Day.

In the First World War in 1914 near Valjevo the Bale of Kolubara, commanded by general Zivojin Misic, was

fought in which the Serbian army heavily defeated Austro-Hungarian troops. Aer the great bale the whole

town was transformed into a war hospital that was immortalized in the picture “ Valjevo Hospital” by Nadezda

Petrovic, who died of typhoid in Valjevo in 1915 while taking care of the wounded.The development of Valjevo was then slowed down by hardships brought by the World War II and at the

end of the 20th century, Valjevo has repeatedly been the target of the NATO bombing.

Twenty-first century brings hope for the further development of Valjevo.

When you come to any town

And in every town one is coming very lateWhen you come very late to any townIf that town by accident will be ValjevoWhere I came tooYou will come on the road you had to comeThat didn't exist before youBut it was born with youTo go on your own

And meet the one whom you have to meetOn the road you have to followShe who was your lifeEven before you met herAnd knew she existedShe and the town in which you came.

An excerpt from the poem

“When you come to any town”

by Matĳa Beckovic

When you come to any town

No maer where you came fromFrom Veljeg Duboki or KolasinOr from nowhere, it is the sameWhen you leave your homeAnywhere

Just to leave as soon as possibleAnd come to any townSay it, to Valjevo…
