History

Nova Varoš was founded in the middle of the 16th century. It is associated with the name of Skender Pasha of Genoa. When Skender-pasha, travelling from Bosnia to the Ottoman capital of Constantinople (1530), stopped with his entourage on the plateau below the mountain Zlatar and was delighted with the beauty of this wooded area and the intoxicating smell of pine, he ordered a town to be built there. Settlements soon sprang up on the site of today’s Nova Varoš. It was called Skender-pašina palanka (Skender-pasha’s Palanka). When it grew to close to 2,000 houses, “a fire broke out and burned the palace to the ground” (Evliya Çelebi). Most of the inhabitants stayed there and built a new town which they called Nova Kasaba, which in Serbian means Nova Varoš.
