"We are promoting a book about residential and fortification buildings in the area of Mostar. Mostar, that is,
Herzegovinian towers are very specific, I think they have been overlooked in the literature so far and are only mentioned
sporadically. They should be distinguished from those towers that are part of fortification systems, these are special towers
built by local families in Herzegovina. They were residential buildings, and very quickly became
military points for defense, which is particularly significant for the historical context in which they were built. They are
solid buildings, mostly built of stone, were surrounded by ramparts, but they also had plenty of
"common contents for a residential house of that time" - emphasized Prof. Faruk Taslid\u017ea, one of the
author of the book.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
