Mramorje, Medieval cemetery with stećci tombstones in Perućac, Serbia

Mramorje, also called Bagruša, is a medieval stećci necropolis at the entrance to Perućac, between the Drina River and the main road. It holds 93 limestone tombstones: 46 slabs, 28 gabled stones (18 with base, 10 without), 17 chests (7 with base, 10 without) and 2 amorphous pieces. The largest reach 2 m long and nearly 1 m wide and high.

The stécci tombstones were created during the 14th and 15th centuries when local communities established monumental burial grounds in this region. This practice was part of a broader tradition across Southeast Europe that extended over centuries.

The name Bagruša is used alongside Mramorje for this site. Most stones are plain and finely worked; only a few carry carvings, among them circles, a crescent moon, a sword and a shield. No inscriptions survive on any of the tombstones.

Mramorje lies at the entrance to Perućac, in the Bajina Bašta municipality of western Serbia, on the strip between the Drina river and the main road that follows its course. The stones stand in regular rows, mostly oriented west-east, so the site can be walked through on foot from the roadside. Parts of the necropolis have sunk into the ground or been displaced, and the Drina and the spreading settlement both encroach on it, so stay on the marked ground and do not move the slabs.

Stećci were inscribed as UNESCO World Heritage in 2016, with three of the listed necropolises in Serbia; Mramorje is one of them. Two undecorated tombstones from the site are kept in the Ethnographic Museum in Belgrade and one in the National Museum in Užice.
