Laodikeia

Laodikeia is one of the important archaeological remains for the region along with Hierapolis (Pamukkale) and Tripolisin in Denizli. The city is surrounded by necropolises. Excavations at Laodikeia show that the city was settled continuously from the Chalcolithic Period (Copper Age, 5500 BCE) to the 7th century CE. The name of the city was originally “Diopolis” (City of Zeus) and then “Rhodas” (Asopos Hill). In the middle of the third century BC., the Hellenistic city was established by Antiochus II of Syria (261-246 BCE) in the region and it was named “Laodikeia” after his wife Laodice

The region became part of the kingdom of Pergamon. Later, the city was connected to the Roman Empire in 130-129 B.C. Laodikeia was one of the Seven Churches (seven major churches of Early Christianity: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea), names in the book of revelation. It became a metropolitan city in the early Byzantine period. Christianity began to spread into the area beginning in the second half of the first century CE. The city became famous as a Christian center and a place of religious pilgrimage in the Early Byzantine period. The Council of Laodikeia, a regional synod of clerics assembled from Asia Minor, was held here in 364 CE.

Battle for the Wounded on Neretva River

Počitelj is a unique place that could be found on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Hadži-Alijina mosque, Šišman-Ibrahimpašina medresa and Gavrankapetanović's house were rebuilt and opened for visitors. The most interesting object in Počitelj is the Clock Tower, a tall fort that tops the hill above the city. It was home to the guards who were careful not to have a possible hostile invasion through the Neretva Valley.

Apart from Oriental architecture and Ottoman feelings, Počitelj is interesting and famous as the host of a fine art colony with the longest tradition in Southeast Europe
