A place to be admired through the colors of its historic market, which incorporates the lively and sparkling character of its people.
A village as beautiful as it is romantic. Imagine a sunset, a bridge and a placid river that crosses the city…
VISIT MOSTAR: WHAT TO SEE
STARI MOST
Visit Mostar can only start from its symbolic place, which, moreover, embodies the very meaning of the city.
Stari Most (Old Bridge), or Mostar.
A beautiful, elegant arch bridge. A truly wonderful architecture, which connects the two banks that cross the river.
Built in the Ottoman era, it was destroyed in 1993 during the war. Eleven years later it would have been completely rebuilt, thus becoming the symbol of a whole nation.
To be admired during the day, in the evening or at sunset.
Maybe, looking from the bottom up, from the underside, on the beach.
In summer, and when the weather permits, the spectacle of diving from the top of the bridge is a tradition handed down for centuries.
TARA KULESI
The most iconic place in Mostar, together with the Old Bridge, of which it can be considered a continuation. It was built with the same white stones as Stari Most.
15 meters high, the Tara Tower is probably one of the oldest places in the city, formerly used as an arsenal and later as a clock tower.
Among the most touristic places, always present on photos and selfies. Don’t miss out on what to see in Mostar.
The Muzej Stari most is housed in one of the towers on the left bank of the Neretva. Part of the museum exhibition is an authentic archaeological site below the level of the tower entrance. The floors of the tower display archaeological material, archival and architectural documentation.
Open Tuesday to Sunday from 10am to 6pm. Closed on Mondays.
“Don’t Forget” is the stone engraving placed on both sides of the bridge, in memory of the horrors of war. A topic that is more topical than ever.
