Summary/Abstract: The paper gives a translation of the 1604 cadastral census of the Bosnian Sanjak for the district of Banja Luka. The source original is kept at the Tapu-Kadastro Genel Miidurlugu Archives in Ankara under call number TD 479. Banja Luka and its environs fell to the Ottoman rule in 1528. At first it was embodied in the district of Brod, and later it was established as a separate district of Banja Luka. The town itself developed vigorously in the second half of the 16th century, especially since it had become the seat of Bosnian Beglerbey Ferhat Pasha. According to that census the district had 51 settlements, and the town, including the part; called Varoš, had 15 residential sub-quarters. The registry gives the data on the urban development of Banja Luka, the spread of Islam, the demographic and religious image of the district.
