Andrićgrad (Serbian Cyrillic: Андрићград, lit. "Andrić's town") is the name of a construction project located in Višegrad, Republika Srpska, Bosnia and Herzegovina by film director Emir Kusturica. The town is dedicated to the Yugoslav novelist and Nobel Prize for Literature laureate Ivo Andrić.
Construction of Andrićgrad, also known as Kamengrad (Каменград, "Stonetown") started on 28 June 2011,[1] and was officially opened on 28 June 2014, on Vidovdan.[2] Andrićgrad is located several kilometers from Kusturica's first town, Drvengrad, in Serbia.
Andrićgrad was, in 2022, the venue used for the twelfth edition of Bina Mira, a youth festival that focuses on peace and equality between nations, that drew over 80 students from Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Germany, Romania, Serbia and Slovenia.

Andrićgrad is to be used as a location for Kusturica's film adaptation of the novel The Bridge on the Drina by Ivo Andrić.[citation needed][needs update]
