Hillfort in Bosnia
277 Meters Altitude. 3 KM West of Stolac and 2 Km North of Radimlja. Acccess via dirt road and then walking along vague path along edge of hill. Iron Age Hillfort eradicated by Romans. Massive town walls out of very large blocks with 2 great arched entrances that are now ruined. In the back, against the cliff there is a so-called Akropolis. There is a depression in the middle of the compound which housed a Forum or Temple of some kind according to Archeologists. There are massive ruins of foundations for individual dwelings in front of the ramparts. The beautiful site could do with some restoration or preservation, but in view of Bosnia's precarious state this is unlikely to be a huge priority.
