Bosnia-Herzegovina

Our first stop today was the Radimlja necropolis, one of the most valuable monuments of the medieval period in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The majority of the stećak (medieval) tombstones date from the 15th and 16th century. A total of 63 are decorated, in bas relief, engraving, or a combination of the two.










This one is my favorite!


Next we visited the Tvrdoš Monastery, a 15th-century Serbian Orthodox monastery near the city of Trebinje.


The monastery also makes wine which we were able to taste.
