Blagaj Fortress
Blagaj Fortress (Stari grad Blagaj or Stjepan-grad) is a multi-period town-fortress complex on a high karst hill above the source of the river Buna near Blagaj, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The site contains medieval and Ottoman fortifications arranged as an irregular polygon with high curtain walls, a gatehouse, and the remains of a palace; it was a regional residence in the 14th–15th centuries and is a protected national monument.

As it stood in 1423
The shape it held in its prime.
Built on a flat-topped karst hill with vertical cliffs to the south, west and north, the fortress is an irregular polygon of quarry-stone curtain walls rising 12–14 m high and 1.5–2.0 m thick, pierced by a central eastern tower and a higher east gatehouse with an outer forecourt. A steep serpentine bridle path approaches from the east. Within the ramparts is a roughly rectangular palace block and compact inner courtyard; repairs show layers of opus incertum and opus spicatum masonry.
