As I ventured out of Croatia, I stumbled upon the small town of Počitelj in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The town is a small fortified village built in the late 14th century and is home to some of the most impressive Ottoman architecture in the region. As I explored the town, I felt transported back in time, walking along narrow streets and admiring old stone houses and mosques. The highlight of my visit was the impressive fortress overlooking the town, offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape. I also had the chance to learn about the town's rich history, which dates back to Roman times, and its significance in the Ottoman Empire. This hidden gem is definitely worth a visit for travelers seeking to explore history and architecture in this corner of the world.
