The necropolis of the Boljuni stećak tombstones is one of the cultural and historical monuments managed by this Public Institution. It is a UNESCO site and one of the largest necropolises in the region. The necropolis is located in Boljuni, 12 kilometers southwest of Stolac. 269 stećak tombstones have been preserved in the necropolis, in two groups. It stands out with a large number of inscriptions – 19 (7%), which is the number of inscriptions in the first place in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Within the necropolis is the tomb of the famous duke Vlatko Vukovic, on whose cross it is written: “Here lies the good man Vlatko Vukovic”. A systematic study of this necropolis concluded that most of them date from the time of the work of master Grubac and master Semorad, ie in the 15th and 16th centuries. Next to the necropolis is the so-called Greek well known to the people as Neveš voda. It is worth mentioning the stećak tombstone of Tarah Boljunović, which has decorations on all vertical sides and inscriptions on the east and west sides, and the stećak tombstone with the image of a mother holding a child in her arms. As it is located on the Stolac-Neum road and due to its good accessibility and attractiveness, it is often visited by cyclists. Therefore, it is planned to conduct Bike friendly certification at this site.
