Attractively oriental-style Početlí is located about half an hour's drive from Mostar, south towards the Adriatic Sea. This unique village, listed as a UNESCO Heritage Site, is a historic village, first mentioned in 1444, but some documents show that It was built in the late 14th century on the orders of the Bosnian King Tvrtko. Besides its stunning oriental architecture and Ottoman flair, Bochteli hosts the longest-running art colony in Southeast Europe, where artists from all over the world gather to paint the brilliant red pomegranates and figs that grow in abundance on its hills. The most surprising feature of this village is the clock tower, a silo-shaped fortress, positioned high on the hill above the town, and which housed guards and soldiers to protect the area from possible invasion from the Neretva Valley.
