Glamoč/Гламоч (pronounced "glamoch") has a population of about 2,000, of which 44% are Bosnian-Serbs, 32% are Bosnian-Croats and 23% are Bosnians. The town belongs to Canton 10 and is 33 km northwest of Livno, 63 km southeast of Drvar and 63 km southwest of Šipovo. There are bus connections to Livno, Banja Luka and Split (Croatia).Surrounded by ten peaks over 1,500 m high, including Mount Cincar (2,006 m), this town gives its name to the Glamoč polje, a 56-km-long karst plain, fertile but empty. Although Glamoč is the sixth largest municipality in Bosnia and Herzegovina (1,033 km2), it is also the least densely populated with 4 inhabitants per square kilometer. The last war has a lot to do with it: the city was captured by the Bosnian-Serbs in 1992, then taken over by the Bosnian-Croats in 1995, leading to the departure of half of the inhabitants and significant destruction. To the houses still in ruins answer the vestiges of more prosperous periods as those of an Ottoman fortress or an air base. An ancient Dalmatian city called Salvium in Roman times, Glamoč also preserves the remains of the largest early Christian basilica in the country (28.50 × 19.10 m). Dating from the5th-6th centuries, it is lost in a field in Vrba (5 km to the southeast), opposite the recent Serbian Orthodox monastery of Veselinje (1985). Overgrown with vegetation, the site is not developed. Glamoč has only one restaurant and a hotel that doubles as a nightclub, the Hotel Split (+387 34 27 24 44).
