Muslibegović House, Ottoman residential building in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Muslibegović House is a residential complex in Mostar's Brankovac mahala, made up of a main house and two courtyards enclosed by walls with entrance gateways. The house was extended in 1871–1872, when two ground-floor and two upper-floor rooms were added along with a mutvak summer kitchen, a storeroom and a cistern, as recorded in a building permit in Turkish issued by the Mostar beledija.
The house originated after 1750 as a family residence and received a major expansion in the early 1870s with additional rooms and auxiliary buildings. This enlargement shaped the property as we see it today.
The building is named after the family who lived there, and displays rooms as they were once used, with traditional furnishings and objects from daily life. Walking through the different spaces shows how people actually inhabited homes under Ottoman rule.
The site functions both as a museum with guided tours and as a hotel offering rooms that combine modern amenities with traditional furnishings. Visitors can explore individual spaces or use the lodging to stay within the historical setting.
The wood carvings took two years to complete and were imported from other regions, according to former owner Muhamed Muslibegović. The 1871–1872 extension that added rooms, the mutvak summer kitchen, storeroom and cistern is documented by a building permit written in Turkish and issued by the Mostar beledija.
