At the time of Bosnian independence, the old town of Hodidjed existed, and the fortress was expanded during the Ottoman rule. However, after the devastation by Prince Eugene of Savoy - Eugen Savojski (in 1697), the fortress was completely reconstructed (1729 -1739). Three towers with gates (kapi-kule) (at Širokac, Ploča and Višegrad’s one) as well as five gates (tabija) were built at that time. Of particular importance was Bijela Tabija (White Gate - which arose from the old city of Hodidjed) and Žuta tabija (Yellow Gate) which was completed in 1809.
