Blagaj and Pocitelj

Hi All,

We made a couple of stops on the way home from Mostar. At Blagaj we visited a 15th century Muslim site that had been occupied by Turkish Dervishes.

The building is nestled against the rock face where the Buna River exits a cave.


It is still a holy site so we all removed our shoes and Sandy and Roberta got scarves to cover their heads.

The Dervishes could study while watching the river

or pray in the chapel with multicolor skylight stars.

Once past the house, the river roars down the valley.

Last stop was the hillside town of Pocitelj. The architecture spans seven centuries of mosques, fortresses and elaborate private homes.

Back to the house in time for another awesome sunset.

Love,
