Bosnia and Herzegovina attractions

Built on a karst cliff on the banks of the Neretva River, the fortified town of Počitelj offers a glimpse into more than 500 years of history and is often described as an open-air museum. Though the earliest documentation of Počitelj dates back to 1444, many of the town’s key structures were built later, during Ottoman times.

At first glance, the Mostar Clock Tower (Sahat Kula) might not command much attention, but the timeworn and war-torn landmark is a testament to the town's Ottoman heritage. Built in 1630, the Turkish-style clock tower was severely damaged during the Croat-Bosniak War, then restored in the '90s as part of Mostar's UNESCO World Heritage Site.
