City of Stolac
Grad Stolac

City of Stolac is situated in the south-east of Bosnia and Herzegovina and has 14.889 inhabitants at 286km2. Stolac presents one of few urban ensembles in Bosnia and Herzegovina preserved in their integrity to the present time developed through the several phases of the history and has traces of urban life through 3.500 years.
Despite its unusual history and inclusion into four empires (Roman, Byzantine, Ottoman, and Austro-Hungarian), three kingdoms (Bosnian, Hungarian and Yugoslav), three world's monotheistic religions - Christianity (Orthodox Christianity and Catholicism), Islam, and Judaism, the historical core of Stolac is a coherent and harmonious cultural-historical monument with individual properties grown together into one ensemble.
The stećak necropolises of Radimlja and Boljuni are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, recognized in 2016, representing significant medieval tombstones with extraordinary decorations and inscriptions, testifying to the complex culture and beliefs of the period.

In December 2021, the Municipality of Stolac became an official city.
