The history of Rogatica dates back to the ancient era, with typical remains of fortified settlements of the Illyrians.[1]

Medieval Borač Castle was located about 10km south from Rogatica. It was a seat of the Pavlović noble family and one of the largest fortified cities on the territory of Bosnia in the 14the and 15th centuries.[2]

Medieval artifacts from this area include numerous stećak monuments, some of exceptional historical value. Stećak from Banja Stijena and stećak Vlatka Vlađevića are preserved at the National Museum of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Sarajevo.[3][4] Borak stećak necropolis near Burati is included in the UNESCO World Heritage list.[5]

In 1463, the town, along with rest of the Kingdom of Bosnia, fell to the Ottoman Empire and was assigned to the Sanjak of Bosnia. The Ottomans referred to the town as Çelebi Pazar.[6]

In 1878, Rogatica became a part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.[7] First school in Rogatica was established in 1880.[8] Church of the Holy Trinity was built in the center of the city between 1883-86.[9]

From October 1941 until January 1942, Serbian Chetniks killed around 2,000 Muslim civilians from the Rogatica district.[10]

In 1942, the Croatian fascist Ustaše regime slaughtered about 6,000 Serbs in Stari Brod near Rogatica and Miloševići.[11][12]
