Hedum castellum was an ancient city located in central Bosnia, in the modern-day town of Breza, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The name Hedum Kastelum means "Inhabited Castle", or in Serbo-Croatian: Naseljena tvrđava. The city was also the capital of the Illyrian tribe Daesitiates. Today, only the Basilica and some grave tombs remain.[1]
