The Historical Town Stolac

Stolac is a town and the center of the municipality. It is located about 32 km south of Mostar, 165 km south of Sarajevo and about 95 km northwest of Dubrovnik (Geographical coordinates: 43º04'59.05''N, 17º57'31.28''E, elevation: 61). The presence of people in this area can be traced back to 16,000 years ago, and the reason is the numerous natural resources necessary for life and the favorable Mediterranean climate. Artifacts about the presence of people in this area, from the Paleolithic era, were found in the Badanj cave. In today's Osanici settlement above the town of Stoca is the town of Daorson, which was built (4th-3rd century BC) by the Hellenized Illyrian tribe Daorsi. The remains of this city still stand today. In the area of Stolac there is a large number of medieval necropolises built by the Bogomils, among which the most famous are: Radimlja, Boljuni, Rotimlja and Vidostak. The Commission for the Preservation of National Monuments of Bosnia and Herzegovina declared the Historic Area - Old Town Stolac a national monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The aim of this paper is a 'study on sustainability' on the concrete example of a city in Bosnia and Herzegovina
