PLACES TO VISIT IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

Mostar Bridge: A bridge over the Neretva River passing through the city of Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The original bridge was built in 1566 by Mimar Hayreddin, a student of Mimar Sinan[1], and was used for 427 years until it was destroyed by Croatian forces during the Bosniak-Croatian War on 9 November 1993. A project was prepared to rebuild the bridge and the new bridge was put into service on 23 July 2004. The bridge was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2005.

Blagaj Tekke: A tekke built at the source of the Buna River near the city center of Blagaj in the Mostar region of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The guesthouse and the shrine are integrated with the surrounding nature and become one with the hills. The guesthouse was built before 1664 and renovated in 1851. The building has undergone several restorations. The construction of the tekke began in 1520 at the latest, shortly after the Ottoman rule in Herzegovina.
