Dugopolje necropolis, Medieval cemetery in Jablanica, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The necropolis contains 150 stone monuments spread across 0.65 hectares of land, featuring different types of tombstones including slabs, crates, and gabled structures.
The site received UNESCO World Heritage status in 2016 as part of the Stećci collection, representing medieval burial practices from the region.
The decorated tombstones display 34 rosette patterns and multiple figurative scenes, including depictions of local men in traditional clothing and fantasy creatures.
Located between mountains Čvrsnica, Muharica, and Vran, the necropolis remains accessible through a macadam road and offers resting benches for visitors.
None of the 150 stone monuments contain written epitaphs, leaving the identities of those buried at the site a perpetual mystery.
