Tower Sahat-Kul is located in Herceg Novi at the entrance to the old town between the squares of Dzhurkovicha and Duke Stefan. By order of Turkish sultan Mahmud Clock Tower Sahat Kula was built in 1667. During the Turkish period there was a mosque on the square near the tower. Sahat Kul has on several sides mechanical clocks, which showed that it was time for daily Muslim prayers. In addition, the tower has served as the main gate of the town. The tower is not only a monument of architecture of Herceg Novi and its historical sights, but also the main heraldic symbol of the town. Its image is used on the flag of the town and all kinds of tourist trappings. The tower, which has become the most recognizable feature of Herceg Novi, has some other names: Tora, Sahat Kula or simply Clock Tower.
In 1753, the Russian Empress Catherine II made a gift to the citizens of Herceg Novi, bell-alarm appeared in the tower, which is preserved to this day.
There is a unique relief inside the Clock Tower that deserves special attention. This is an image of Our Lady under the title Black Madonna, made of old smoked wood. The author of this work is the sculptor Afran Hozich from Sarajevo. And the relief itself was established in memory of the founder of Herceg Novi Bosnian king Tvrtko I.
The old mechanical clock, which worked correctly all the time, were replaced with new electronic one in 1995. It was a gift to the people of Herceg Novi from the Serbian municipality of Zemun. In Sahat- Kula tower is still preserved an ancient archive of the town, where the oldest historical document dated by 1685 year.

Город тысячи ступенек - Herceg Novi - the city of a thousand stairs
Хе́рцег-Но́ви (также Герцег-Нови, серб. Херцег Нови, Herceg Novi, итал. Castelnuovo) — город в Черногории. Расположен на берегу Которского залива Адриатического моря. Город лежит в долине у подножия горы Орьен.
Из-за холмистого рельефа в Херцег-Нови много крутых тропинок и лестниц, поэтому его называют «городом тысячи ступенек».
Город был основан как крепость в 1382 году боснийским королём Твртко I под названием Свети Стефан — или, на итальянский манер, Сан-Стефано (сейчас так называется другой город в Черногории). После смерти короля Твртко I крепость перешла под власть князя Сандаля Хранича из династии Косача. Во время его правления здесь сформировался важный центр торговли солью. От Сандаля Хранича крепость унаследовал его племянник, герцог Стефан Вукшич. При нём населенный пункт получил права города и своё современное название (и именно от титула Стефана Вукшича в названии появилось слово «Херцег»). В 1466 году Венецианская республика предложила герцогу обменять города Херцег-Нови и Рисан на остров Брач в Адриатическом море и дворец в Сплите — однако Стефан Вукшич отказался.
В 1482 году Османская империя отвоевала города Рисан и Херцег-Нови у сына герцога Стефана, Владислава Херцеговича, и владела этим городом в течение двух веков с кратким перерывом в 1538—1539 годах, когда город ненадолго захватили испанцы. Только в 1688 году венецианцы отбили оба города у турок и включили Херцег-Нови в состав Венецианской республики как часть провинции «Албания Венета» под итальянским названием Кастельнуово (Castelnuovo), что на итальянском языке означает «Новый замок». В последующие столетия судьба Херцег-Нови не отличалась от судьбы всей Боки Которской — венецианское господство до 1797 года, недолгое российское покровительство (1806—07 годы) в период наполеоновских войн, краткий период французского правления в составе Иллирийских провинций, австрийское владычество до 1918 года, вхождение в состав Югославии до её распада.
Почти на одинаковом расстоянии от Херцег-Нови (около 30 км) располагаются два аэропорта: аэропорт Тивата — один из двух международных аэропортов Черногории и аэропорт Дубровника (Хорватия). Херцег-Нови соединен с остальной частью Черногории двухполосной автодорогой — т. н. Адриатической трассой (Jadranska magistrala). Неподалеку от города действует паромная переправа Каменари—Лепетане через пролив Вериге, позволяющая не объезжать Боку Которску на пути из Хорватии в Черногорию (в будущем на этом месте планируется строительство моста).
Херцег-Нови — одно из основных туристических направлений Черногории. Это известный центр спа-медицины: поблизости от Игало находится лечебно-грязевой курорт «Игальско Блато» и минеральный источник «Игальске Слатине». Также там располагается Институт физиотерапии и реабилитации им. Милошевича, открытый в 1949 году.
Самые известные достопримечательности города — морская крепость (Forte Mare), построенная боснийским королём Твртко I в 1382, Часовая башня, построенная австрийцами в XIX веке, Кровавая башня (тур. Канли-Кула), построенная во время турецкой оккупации, и православная церковь Михаила Архангела на площади Белависта, выдержанная в духе эклектики).
За городом можно посетить Савинский монастырь (Manastir Savina) — мужской православный монастырь, основанный монахами, переселившимися из Герцеговины в XVII веке.
В городе находится восстановленное в 2007 году русское кладбище, где похоронены генералы и офицеры русской армии, эмигрировавшие в Югославию после 1917 года, и установлен небольшой памятник в честь всех русских, нашедших вечный покой в земле Черногории.
За пышность растительности и обилие реликтовых деревьев и кустарников Херцег-Нови называют «ботаническим садом Черногории». В его собственном Ботаническом саду регулярно проходят праздники цветов, самый известный из них Фестиваль мимозы.
В середине исторической части города находится музей якорей, над которым совершенно свободно развиваются черногорский, российский и андреевский флаги. Черногорцы в целом прекрасно относятся к России и русским. Удивительный факт: в знак благодарности об освобождении страны от турецкого ига, Черногория в 1904г. объявила войну Японии и формально находилась с ней в состоянии войны более 100 лет! Российские власти очень ценили дружбу с Черногорией, и Александр Третий сказал в свое время дословно следующее: у России нет друзей, кроме Черногории, а наши союзники — лишь армия и флот. Потом упоминание Черногории из этой крылатой фразы куда-то подевалось.
Сегодня в Херцег-Нови бережно относятся к истории российского присутствия в Которском заливе: тут бывал адмирал Ушаков, в городе есть русское кладбище и памятники черногорцам, верой и правдой служивших России. Потому наличие российских флагов - не удивляет.

POČITELJ, the Pearl of Herzegovina 2018
The historic urban site of Počitelj is located on the left bank of the river Neretva, on the main Mostar to Metković road, to the south of Mostar, in the territory of Čapljina Municipality.
In the middle ages, Počitelj was the administrative centre and centre of governance of Dubrava župa (county), and its westernmost point, which gave it major strategic importance. It is supposed that the fortified town and its attendant settlements were built by Bosnia's King Stjepan Tvrtko I in 1383.
The walled town of Počitelj evolved over the period from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries. Architecturally, the surviving stone-built parts of the town are a fortified complex, in which two stages of evolution may be observed: mediaeval, and Ottoman.
The first documented reference to the town dates from 1444, in Charters issued by Kings Alfonso V and Friedrich III. During the period 1463-1471 the town held a Hungarian garrison. Following a brief siege in 1471, the town fell to the Ottomans, and was to remain within the Ottoman Empire until 1878. From 1782 to 1879 it was the centre of a kadiluk (area under the jurisdiction of a kadija or qadi - judge) and from 1713 to 1835 it was the headquarters of the Počitelj military district.
The significance and appearance of the town has altered during the course of its history. Three periods seem to be significant for the development of Počitelj:
1. The time of the Hungarian King Matthias Corvinus when the town had significant strategic importance (1463-1471),
2. The period of development of the settlement under the Ottoman Empire with the erection of typical public buildings: mosques, mekteb (Muslim primary school), imaret (charitable kitchen), medresa (Muslim high school), hamam, Turkish baths, han (inn) and sahat-kula (clock-tower) (1471-1698). During this period military conflicts occurred in more remote areas.
3. The period of recovery of its strategic importance after the Venetians conquered and destroyed Gabela (1698-1878).
With the establishment of Austro-Hungarian rule in BiH in 1878, Počitelj lost its strategic importance and began to deteriorate rapidly. The loss of the town's strategic role helped to safeguard the original urban architectural ensemble, so that the town has been preserved in its original form to this day.
During the 1992-96 war in BiH the entire historic urban site of Počitelj and all its various buildings suffered extensive war damage.
In 1996, Počitelj was named by World Monuments Watch as one of the world's 100 most endangered cultural heritage sites, as proposed by the University of York, United Kingdom, and the University of Sarajevo, in the light of its outstanding value.
In 2000 the Government of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina started the Programme of the permanent protection of Počitelj that comprises of: protection of cultural heritage from further deterioration, rehabilitation of damaged and destroyed buildings, returns of the refugees and displaced persons to their homes and the sustainable and long-term protection and revitalization of the Historic urban area of Počitelj. The Programm is on-going and now it is in the stage of rehabilitation of housing complexes in the upper part of Počitelj.

SUMMARY
=======
Bosnia and Herzegovina ( ( listen) or ; abbreviated B&H; Bosnian and Serbian: Bosna i Hercegovina (BiH) / Боснa и Херцеговина (БиХ), Croatian: Bosna i Hercegovina (BiH), pronounced [bôsna i xěrtseɡoʋina]), sometimes called Bosnia–Herzegovina, and often known informally as Bosnia, is a country in Southeastern Europe in the Balkan Peninsula. Sarajevo is the capital and largest city.
Bosnia and Herzegovina is an almost landlocked country – it has a narrow coast at the Adriatic Sea, about 20 kilometres (12 miles) long surrounding the town of Neum. It is bordered by Croatia to the north, west and south, Serbia to the east, and Montenegro to the southeast. In the central and eastern interior of the country the geography is mountainous, in the northwest it is moderately hilly, and the northeast is predominantly flatland. The inland, Bosnia, is a geographically larger region and has a moderate continental climate, with hot summers and cold and snowy winters. The southern tip, Herzegovina, has a Mediterranean climate and plain topography.
Bosnia and Herzegovina traces permanent human settlement back to the Neolithic age, during and after which it was populated by several Illyrian and Celtic civilizations. Culturally, politically, and socially, the country has a rich history, having been first settled by the Slavic peoples that populate the area today from the 6th through to the 9th centuries. In the 12th century the Banate of Bosnia was established, which evolved into the Kingdom of Bosnia in the 14th century, after which it was annexed into the Ottoman Empire, under whose rule it remained from the mid-15th to the late 19th centuries. The Ottomans brought Islam to the region, and altered much of the cultural and social outlook of the country. This was followed by annexation into the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, which lasted up until World War I. In the interwar period, Bosnia and Herzegovina was part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and after World War II, it was granted full republic status in the newly formed Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Following the dissolution of Yugoslavia, the republic proclaimed independence in 1992, which was followed by the Bosnian War, lasting until late 1995.
The country is one of the most frequently visited countries in the region, projected to have the third highest tourism growth rate in the world until 2020. Bosnia and Herzegovina is regionally and internationally renowned for its natural environment and cultural heritage inherited from six historical civilizations, its cuisine, winter sports, its eclectic and unique music, architecture and its festivals, some of which are the largest and most prominent of their kind in Southeastern Europe. The country is home to three main ethnic groups or, officially, constituent peoples, as specified in the constitution. Bosniaks are the largest group of the three, with Serbs second and Croats third. A native of Bosnia and Herzegovina, regardless of ethnicity, is usually identified in English as a Bosnian. Minorities, defined under the constitutional nomenclature Others, include Jews, Roma, Poles, Ukrainians and Turks. Bosnia and Herzegovina has a bicameral legislature and a three-member Presidency composed of a member of each major ethnic group. However, the central government's power is highly limited, as the country is largely decentralized and comprises two autonomous entities: the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and Republika Srpska, with a third region, the Brčko District, governed under local government. The Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina is complex and consists of 10 cantons.
Bosnia and Herzegovina ranks highly in terms of human development, and has an economy dominated by the industry and agriculture sectors, followed by the tourism and service sectors. The country has a social security and universal healthcare system, and primary- and secondary-level education is tuition-free. It is a member of the UN, OSCE ...
