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

Boljuni is a stećak necropolis in the Bjelojevići hamlet, 15 km southwest of Stolac. It holds 269 tombstones: 176 chests, 78 slabs, 12 gabled tombstones and 3 crosses, set in two groups about 400 m apart in a valley below the village houses. 92 are carved, a rate of 34 percent.

The necropolis arose in the mid-14th century and was used for burials until the early 16th century. Its Bosančica inscriptions name the deceased, including Bogavac Tarah Boljunović (died before 1477) and members of the Heraković and Vladisalić families. Two quarries found 200 m from the site show that carving was done locally.

The tombstones display carved motifs including rosettes, shields, swords, human figures, hunting scenes, and dancing. These carvings reflect the artistic traditions of medieval Bosnia and show what mattered to the people buried here.

The site sits in open land southwest of Stolac and is easy to reach on foot with good visibility of the monuments. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since the terrain is uneven and prepare for changing weather conditions.

Boljuni has 19 epitaphs, not twenty, and they are written in Bosančica script. They name the dead, including Bogavac Tarah Boljunović (died before 1477) and the Heraković family, and record that some lie "on their own noble land".
