Through the winter of 1914 into 1915, Valjevo became the grim centre of a typhus epidemic that swept the retreating Serbian army and the foreign medical volunteers who came to treat it, killing tens of thousands, including several of the British and other Allied doctors and nurses sent to help, a chapter of the First World War better remembered abroad in some of those volunteers' home countries than in casual accounts of the war itself.
Away from that history, Valjevo's Tesnjar quarter preserves narrow riverside lanes and Ottoman-era merchant houses along the Kolubara river, giving the old town centre a compact, walkable character distinct from the wider modern town that has grown up around it.
