Daorson

The remains of Daorson include cyclopean walls constructed with massive stone blocks stretching over sixty-five meters along the hilltop position.

The capital of the Illyrian Daorsi tribe flourished between 300 BC and 50 BC, maintaining strong trade connections with Greek merchants in the Neretva valley.

Archaeological excavations revealed evidence of coin minting facilities, where thirty-nine different coins were discovered, primarily featuring King Ballaios portraits.

The archaeological site stands 5 kilometers from Stolac and remains accessible throughout the year, with guided tours available through local tourism offices.

The defensive walls were constructed using irregular stones placed without binding materials, yet have endured centuries of weather and seismic activities.
