Boljuni necropolis, Medieval necropolis in Bjelojevići, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The necropolis contains 274 stećci arranged in two groups, featuring slabs, chests, gables, and crosses spread across 1.06 hectares of land.

Between the 14th and 16th centuries, the Vlach population, who traded livestock products and participated in caravan transportation, constructed these stone monuments.

The tombstones display intricate carvings of rosettes, shields, swords, human figures, hunting scenes, and dances, reflecting medieval Bosnian artistic traditions.

Located 15 kilometers southwest of Stolac at coordinates 43°1'40"N 17°52'29"E, the site maintains regular visiting hours for public access.

Twenty inscriptions carved on the monuments make Boljuni the largest collection of medieval epitaphs among all stećak necropolises in the region.
