Počitelj Citadel, Medieval fortress in Počitelj, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Počitelj Citadel is the oldest fortified part of Počitelj, on a steep rocky slope above the left bank of the Neretva. Its core is an inner town with a donjon tower and a small bailey; the main tower, the Gavran-captain tower, stands on karstic rock. Rough light grey and tan stone blocks form a tall polygonal tower with a shallow pyramidal cap and small dark openings, beside a ruined wall with three square window openings.

King Tvrtko I of Bosnia is credited with founding the fortified town around 1383, controlling the trade route from the Bosnian interior to the Adriatic via Drijeva. Počitelj is first documented in 1444 in charters of Alfonso V and Frederick III. A Hungarian garrison held it from 1463 to 1471, when the Ottomans took it after a short siege; they held it until 1878 and enlarged the fortress before 1698.

The citadel crowns the walled town of Počitelj, whose name first appears in written sources in 1444, in charters of kings Alfonso V and Frederick III. The settlement below grew under Ottoman rule from 1471, gaining a mosque, madrasa, imaret, hamam, han and clock tower. The historic urban area was declared a national monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2003 and placed on UNESCO's Tentative List on 2 January 2007.

The climb to the fortress follows paved paths through the old town, some quite steep and requiring sturdy footwear. It is best to visit early in the day when temperatures are cooler and fewer visitors are present.

The main tower is called Gavran-kapetanova kula, the Gavran Captain's Tower, and stands on a karstic rock above the Neretva. The oldest part of the fortress is the inner town with its donjon tower and a small bailey; the later Ottoman works added a square tower, bastions, a granary, a cistern and the fortress mosque.
