Blagaj Fortress

Blagaj fortress, sometimes called Old Town Blagaj, is built on the crest of a ridge above modern Balgaj and the dervish monastery (see another post) located at the source of the Buna River. Settlement and defensive remains here indicate that activity goes back to the Roman period and earlier. The current fortress is from the medieval and Ottoman periods. During the medieval period, this was the seat of the local rulers.
The 1st picture looks up at the fortress from one of the switchbacks on the walk up the ridge. The 2nd picture looks at the remains of some internal structures in the complex. Likewise in the 3rd picture which appears to be a cistern.
The 4th picture looks across the fortress to the remaining high tower from which the last 2 pictures were taken. The 5th takes a look along the walls atop the cliffs and the 6th is the view.もっと詳しく
