Why Pocitelj matters
Pocitelj clings to a rocky slope above the river, its stone houses stacked in steps toward a fortress at the top. A domed mosque, a clock tower and an old dervish building add to the Ottoman character. Climb the steep paths for a wide view over the valley. Stop on the way between Mostar and the Adriatic coast.
Talking points
- The stone village rises in terraces up a steep slope.
- A fortress and clock tower crown the hill.
