Ljubuški Fortress, Medieval fortress in Ljubuški, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The limestone fortress stands at 396 meters above sea level on the rocky ridge of Buturovice hill, featuring multiple watchtowers and defensive walls.
Built in the 15th century by nobleman Stjepan Vukčić Kosača, the fortress changed hands between Bosnian rulers and Ottoman forces throughout its existence.
The structure represents a National Monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina, displaying architectural elements from both medieval Bosnian and Ottoman periods.
The fortress undergoes restoration work to maintain its structural integrity while remaining open for visitors interested in exploring medieval military architecture.
Historical documents from 1477 reveal that the fortress contained a large garrison and served as a strategic border defense point during Ottoman administration.
