I'm from a small town in Bosnia called Tešanj. In my town there is a fortress on top of a hill called Gradina, and it's basically in the middle of the town. Legend has it, three brothers were building the fortress, but every time they built it, it would collapse. They were told by a mystic that it would keep collapsing until they put a woman inside a wall.  

Well, the three brothers all had wives, and they agreed that the next wife to bring them lunch would be the one sacrificed. Each one swore he wouldn't warn his own wife, but the two older brothers broke their promise. The wife of the youngest one brought lunch the next day. The men killed her and entombed her body in the stone .  

From then on, the fortress was indestructible.
