Day trip (April 20th) continued in Gradacac

Same friends as the day before, now in Gradacac.

Beautiful stone archway with Islamic carvings.

Detail from another archway.

The fortress of Husein Bey Gradascevic (nicknamed “the dragon”) in the town of Gradacac, Tuzla Canton, was likely built in the 14th century.

Paved alley to the Gradacac fortress in same ottoman style as the “stari most” (“old bridge” ) in Mostar.

Arnaud in front of the house of the Dragon. The restaurant where we are having lunch is at the top, with an extraordinary view of the surrounding countryside.

Making plans. So many amazing places to visit in the countries of the former yougoslavia, so little time…

Rucak! (“lunch is here!”).
