I strongly advice climbing up to the castle tower. You can get amazing views of the village. Our tour guide said only 11 people actively live in this village because there was a concentration camp nearby and survivors can't live in it anymore since they are constantly reminded of their horrific experiences. Such a beautiful village but its history is so sad.

Fascinating abandoned city in Bosnia and Herzegovina is something what you need to see...👍A very interesting city with all the infrastructure and architecture characteristic of the Ottoman Empire, which founded this city...reconstruction is needed and I sincerely hope that UNESCO does something about it. An important tourist place in Bosnia and Herzegovina is worth seeing😁 

Pocitelj is a lovely little old town to visit not too far from Mostar. It has access to some parking just at the side of the main road just be careful walking to the old town entrance. There are a lot of steps to go up and the steps may be slippery so you must be careful. The views from the top are stunning. You can see the Neretva river and views of the valleys below. The one thing I was bothered by is the price of a bottle of water, 500 m. I had just bought a bottle at the local Konzum ,( grocery store) and paid under 1 mark. THEN I was so thirsty I got another at one of the stalls and paid 3 marks!! Which is triple the price! What a joke ! Meanwhile the Bosnians are crying and whining that in Split, Hrvatska, ice cream costs 3 euros for one scoop !!! And in Sarajevo they are crying that a Turkish coffee costs 6 marks on the Bašćaršija. I understand prices are more for places that are touristy related but you can definitely find cheaper prices no matter where you travel, make sure you look around before you buy. Going off the regular tourist path will reward you. Otherwise Počitelj is worth the stop, just don't buy water from the stalls there. Haha

We visited the city on our way to Mostar and it's an amazing place where you can wander through the cobblestone paths to explore the village, the walls, fortress and the tower. You can climb up the tower for an amazing view of the valleys around. There are various view points from the fortress walls and it seems to have fallen with poor maintenance as there are rest rooms, glass walkways which seem not to be in use. There is a historical mosque, baths and old houses with most of them vacant (seems so). What is amazing is the number of pomegranate trees and fruits that are packed all over the village. We stopped to get some and I also got home made Brandy from one of the wonderful ladies. After safely getting it home and tasting it I could say it tasted great. There are cafes and restaurants in the village before starting the walk into the village. There is a car parking near the village entrance. A must visit place for a slice of history, culture on route to Mostar or if you are nearby

A beautiful village south of Mostar with scenic looking streets and wonderfully preserves cobblestone walks. The locals are really friendly and the traditional coffee is a must try together with the 1 euro pomegranate juice sold across the main street!

Although much was damaged during the war, Počitelj is still without a doubt one of the best preserved little crannies of old Bosnian life you can find. You can easily spend multiple hours crawling through this little fort and village, and you can learn a lot about the region just from its character. Will say though it is a little bit of a funny juxtaposition when you look out from some of the top ramparts and see the giant modern highway bridge under construction just one town over.

What an amazing place to explore. Make sure you learn the history of this Kula! Bring yourself a pair of comfortable shoes and hike your way up! You can buy cold pomegranate juice or water from the people who are selling it.

Entrance is free... The castle gives a small insight into the past and how life used to be... The only complaint is a few trash cans and a lot of trash scattered around
