Počitelj (2024 Čapljina) is a historic and fortified settlement in Bosnia and Herzegovina located at the river Neretva close to Mostar and Metković. It is believed that the fortified town was founded in 1383 by Bosnian king Tvrtko I. In 1463-1471 the town was further fortified by Vladislav Hercegović with the support of Hungary and the Pope to withstand the Ottoman conquests and attacks in the Balkan Region. The Ottoman Turks eventually captured Počitelj in 1471 and remained until 1878 when it became briefly part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Počitelj was severely damaged during the Yugoslavian civil war (1992-1995) when ethnic cleansing took place. Some highlights of Počitelj are the old town, the Počitelj Fortress, the mosque, the bastions and the Neretva River with the new Počitelj Bridge.
