Zagvozd was the site of a 1945 torture and massacre of 18 friars and civilians, committed by Yugoslav Partisans. [5] Their remains were discovered in 2005. [5] DNA analysis in Split revealed the identities of three of the victims as Franciscan friars from the town of Široki Brijeg. [6] In 2007, the 15 unidentified bodies were buried in Zagvozd while the identified friars were buried in their native Široki Brijeg. [5]

Zagvozd celebrates its municipal day on July 16 to coincide with the local celebration of the feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel. [7]
