The Slavs came to Bosnia in the 7th century, but details of their movement and settlement through the country remain a mystery. Some Slavic artifects remain from the time however, and it is pretty much certain that they settled in the Sarajevo valley, replacing the present Illyrians. Katera, one of the two original Bosnian towns mentioned by Constantine Porphyrogenitus in De Administrando Imperio, was found to the southeast of Sarajevo. However, by the time of the Ottoman occupation there was little settlement left in the region, leaving the history of the Sarajevo region during the middle ages not well understood.
When Bosnia first appeared, it was based on Bosnia proper, which was basically the Bosna river valley, stretching from modern day Zenica to Sarajevo. The area of present day Sarajevo was part of the Bosnian province of Vrhbosna near the traditional center of the kingdom. Though a city called Vrhbosna existed, the exact settlement of Sarajevo at this time is debated. During the high middle ages various documents make note of a place called ‘’Tornik’’ in the region. By all indications however, ‘’Tornik’’ was a very small marketplace surrounded by a proportionally small village not considered very important by Ragusan merchants. Even the local fortress of Hodidjed, was defended by a mere two dozen men when it fell to the Turks.
Others meanwhile say that Vrhbosna was a major city located in the middle of modern day Sarajevo. Indeed, Papal documents say that in 1238, a Cathedral to Saint Peter was built in the city. Considering the importance of Saint Paul, this would have to have been a very important cathedral, yet none are quite sure where it is. Some have speculated that it was located in present day Sarajevo neighborhood Skenderija, as it is said that during construction in the late 19th century, there were found Roman style collunms, dating to sometime around the 12th century11th century 12th century 13th century other centuries) As a means of recording the passage of time, the 12th century was that century which lasted from 1101 to 1200.

Whether this city was indeed located at modern day Sarajevo or not, an important city called Vrhbosna did indeed exist at the time and the region was of great importance. Still, it is somewhat strange that the location of such an important city is unknown. It is not unlikely, that the city may have been destroyed sometime between the 13th century12th century 13th century 14th century other centuries) As a means of recording the passage of time, the 13th century was that century which lasted from 1201 to 1300.
