Vranje kept a distinctly Ottoman character longer than most Serbian towns, remaining under Ottoman rule until 1878, and its old quarter still holds the Pasina Cesma, an elaborate Pasha's fountain, along with narrow lanes of merchant houses that reflect that late transition rather than the earlier Habsburg influence seen further north.
Writer Borisav Stankovic, born here in 1876, drew heavily on Vranje's Ottoman-era social world for his novels, most famously Nечиста крв (Impure Blood), giving the town an outsized place in Serbian literature relative to its size. A few kilometres away, Vranjska Banja's thermal springs, among the hottest in Europe, have drawn spa visitors for generations.
