Mostar is the main cultural, economic and administration centre of Herzegovina. The first mention of Mostar dates back to 1440 and soon afterwards it took the primacy from
Blagaj, formerly the capital of Herzegovina. The town is well known for its
Old Bridge, the construction of which began in 1557 and lasted for nine (9) years. The name of Mostar derives from the word “mostari” (the bridge keepers) who guarded the Old Bridge. The Old Bridge stood for 427 years, until the bridge was destroyed on November 9, 1993 by the HVO artillery. The Bridge was reconstructed in 2004 and has been under the UNESCO protection since 2005. Distance from the camp: 12km, cca 10 minutes by vehicle.
