Radimlja Necropolis

The Radimlja necropolis is one of Bosnia and Herzegovina's most important medieval monuments due to a large number of steak tombstones, the diversity and representativity of the basic shapes of these tombstones, the relatively high artistic quality of workmanship, the abundance of carved decoration, scenes in relief, and epitaphs referring to well-known historical figures, and the necropolis' unusual location and ease of access. The necropolis' beginnings may be traced back to the late 14th century when three enormous chest-shaped tombstones were carved, two of which are lavishly ornamented and feature bas-relief figural representations.

Known as one of the most beautiful historical sites in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Radimlja Necropolis is open during the week for the majority of the day, with fewer hours on Saturday. The necropolis is free for children, but adults must pay 4KM (convertible mark) apiece. It's a fantastic site to stop for a meditation on the medieval Balkans because it's close to the main tourist road.

Radimlja Necropolis is located 3 kilometers west of Stolac, a southern hamlet on the Sarajevo-Dubrovnik tourism route. If you live near Stolac (3 km) of Mostar, the journey is simple (33 km). The Radimlja Necropolis is occasionally included in regional tours.
