BOLJUNI (Bosnia and Herzegovina)

BOLJUNI (Bosnia and Herzegovina) The necropolis of stećak tombstones in Boljuni numbers 274 stećak tombstones, 92 of which are decorated and 9 of which have epitaphs, making it one of the country's few large necropolises.  With its number and the forms of its stećaks, their decorations and symbols, and the relatively large number of epitaphs, the necropolis in Boljune provides valuable historical information.  The artistic originality of the diverse motifs is ascribed to the most prolific master-craftsman specializing in stećak decoration, Grubač, who is buried in the necropolis.  The stećak tombstones are set in rows, all facing west-east.
