Walled town of Počitelj, Ottoman fortified town in Čapljina, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The stone structures of Počitelj rise along the Neretva River bank, forming a collection of houses, towers, and mosques within defensive walls.
The settlement, first mentioned in 1444, gained importance during the Ottoman period as an administrative center controlling the Neretva River passage.
The Šišman Ibrahim Pasha Mosque from 1563 represents the religious traditions of the area through its architectural features and acoustic properties.
Visitors reach the site via the main road connecting Mostar to Metković, with parking facilities available near the entrance to the old town.
The medieval fortress maintains its original layout within a natural karst amphitheater, incorporating both military and residential structures from different periods.
