Historical and cultural landmarks across Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina are being highlighted for their architectural and legendary significance.

In Montenegro, sites range from the Salemović House in Bijelo Polje, a preserved example of late 18th and early 19th-century urban architecture, to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Kotor. Kotor is noted for its 2,000-year history, featuring Gothic elements in churches such as St. Anthony, St. Nicholas, and St. John, as well as the Mediterranean Museum.

In Bosnia and Herzegovina, attention is drawn to the ‘Great Nišan’ or ‘King Tvrtko’s Obelisk’ near Olovo. While local legend attributes the four-meter-tall stone monument to the 14th-century King Tvrtko I Kotromanić, historians suggest the structure more closely resembles large Muslim tombstones.
