Počitelj is a village located in Herzegovina-Neretva region of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina (one of the two political entities that compose Bosnia and Herzegovina). The historic site of Počitelj is located on the left bank of the river Neretva, on the main Mostar to Metkovic (Dubrovnik-Neretva County, Croatia) road. Počitelj is only 3 km away from Capljina and about 30 km from Mostar. Besides, it is about 30 km from the Adriatic Sea. In the valley of Neretva, Počitelj was the mainstay in the defense against the Ottomans. The fortress was built by King Tvrtko in 1383 and it had a strategic role in controlling the passage to the sea through the Neretva valley. Počitelj represents one of the few urban ensembles in Bosnia and Herzegovina that were preserved in their integrity to the present times. It was also developed through the several phases of the history beginning with the medieval period. Its significant strategic role from the 13th to 17th century gave its inhabitants the power to build one of the most important, and best preserved ensembles within the city walls in the region. The town can be compared with some of the noted world heritage sites as the old towns of Mostar (Bosnia and Herzegovina), Ohrid (Republic of Macedonia), Safranbolu (Turkey) and Gjirokaster (Albania).
