Vares is settled 50 km north of Sarajevo, northeast of Visoko, east of Zenica. Vares has a long tradition of metal processing. Weapons for Roman legions were forged in this town and, later on in history, caravans of brisk Bosnian cavalry carried loads of iron and products in exchange for goods from Dubrovnik, Byzant and other areas.
