Mostar is a city in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The city was the most heavily bombed of any Bosnian city during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina following the breakup of Yugoslavia. At the beginning of the war, air strikes destroyed many important buildings and structures, including the cultural and spiritual icon: the Old Bridge (Stari Most), which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Mostar has been most famous for this beautiful historic Ottoman-style bridge, which spanned the Neretva river in what is considered the historic centre of the city. Through combined efforts with the international community, rebuilding of the Old Bridge was completed in 2004, almost 11 years after its destruction, using some of its original stones recovered from the Neretva river.
Much of the city has been rebuilt, particularly the area within and around the old town. However, many visible signs of Mostar's troubled history in the 1990s remain.

The Spomenik Database was set up in 2016 by writer, history hobbyist and travel enthusiast Donald Niebyl to act as a comprehensive online resource for the most significant and notable of the abstract & modernist World War II monuments built in the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia from roughly 1960 to 1990 (structures commonly referred to as 'Spomeniks'), which are now, after the breakup of that country in the 1990s, scattered across the present-day regions of Croatia, Slovenia, N. Macedonia, Serbia, Kosovo, Bosnia i Herzegovina and Montenegro.
This spomenik complex at Mostar commemorates the 810 named fallen World War II fighters from Mostar whose bodies are interred in the cemetery here; each of the fighters were members of the Partisan National Liberation Army and died fighting against the Axis Ustaše and German occupiers. Along with the 810, the bodies of hundreds of WW2 fallen Partisan fighters were interred in the staircases leading up to the top of the monument
Since the fall of Yugoslavia, as the site has fallen into disrepair, a great number of markers have been vandalized, displaced and smashed. Even engraved markers that have been recently refurbished and replaced continue to be destroyed.

Part of the ornate architecture which makes up the largely Romanesque city of Trogir, Croata
Trogir is only 17 miles (27km) from Split, and has a population of just over 10,000. Trogir was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1997 and is home to a number of fascinating historic sights, the best of which is the Cathedral of St Lawrence where this shot was taken
Although there must have been settlements at the site of Trogir in prehistoric times, the town’s history really starts with a Greek settlement in the 3rd century BC which then went on to become part of the Roman Empire which was expanding through Dalmatia at that time
