Vidoski

It is said that the 1st fortress on this site was commissioned by Constantine in the 5th and 6th centuries to protect his caravans heading to and from Byzantium.
This old fortress town on a hill above modern Stolac as it is today, dates to at least the 15th century. It is a typical walled fortress town built on the hillside with several levels on which the remains of structures can be seen.
The 1st picture is of the main gate into the lower part of the city. The 2nd looks along the walls to the left of the gate. The 3rd picture looks over some of the ruined structures to a glimpse of modern Stolac.
The 4th picture looks across the mid section of the town. In the distance, left of center, you can just make out one of the remote watchtowers associated with the fort.
The 5th picture looks across the uppermost portion of the fortress. The cross and altar are modern additions added during the Balkan War of the 1990s. The last picture is a view from the very highest point of the fortress.Read more
