Here, in 1993 the city was divided between Croats on the west and Bosniaks on the eastern side. It is a surreal and sobering experience to see the bombed-out buildings which still stand in this area only 5 m from the division.

Bell Tower
Visible wide around the city. Take the elevator up the bell tower next to Sveti Petar i Pavao.
Bišćevića kuća
An Ottoman house, where you only can see the few rooms in upstairs.
Koski Mehmed-pašina džamija
Small but pretty Ottoman mosque built in 1618 that was destroyed during the war but rebuilt with Turkish financial support. Climb the minaret for spectacular views over the town. Ascending the minaret is not recommended to those with claustrophobia, but the 192 step climb rewards with a superlative view of the Old Bridge.
Karađoz-begova džamija
Ottoman mosque built in 1557; central mosque of Mostar.
A park turned into a cemetery in 1993 when the dead needed a place to be buried and other cemeteries were inaccessible due to the war.
Members of the Mostar Diving Club will dive off the bridge into the emerald green waters, but first they will try to collect some money from tourists. Do not attempt this yourself. The waters of river are at a constant 12°C, and going suddenly from 30°C to 12°C can cause a heart attack among even the fittest. The young local men diving would hose themselves down first in order to lower their body temperature before diving. The best place to watch this is below Old Bridge on shore of Neretva river.
