Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Tourists have slowly caught on to Bosnia’s untouched charm and
adventurous globe trekkers have lauded the rich cultural and historic
delights that Bosnia and Herzegovina has to offer.
With cobblestone streets and charming restaurants, Mostar is picturesque
landscape of a time gone by. Historic edifices in stark grey stone loom
over the clear, green River Buna and its lush greenery, which surrounds
the city.
The old bridge which is perched high in the old town, has immense
historical importance in Mostar. Built by the Ottomans in the 16th
century it is one of Bosnia’s most recognizable landmarks. In fact,
Mostar was named after the bridge keepers (known as mostari) who in
medieval times guarded the Old Bridge.
The beauty of Mostar lies in the turquoise river, elegant minarets and
shiny white stone but with reminders of the city’s brutal past visible
in the bullet hole-laden walls and bombed out buildings nestled among
the shops and cafes.
Visiting Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina was an eye-opening
and humbling experience.
