{"id":290,"count":10,"description":"Ljubu\u0161ki lies on the left side of the river Trebi\u017eat, a river that makes one of the most beautiful waterfalls that can be seen throughout Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the most famous are Kravica and Ko\u0107u\u0161a.\r\n\r\nIn addition to its natural beauties, which give Ljubu\u0161ki the epithet of a healthy gastronomic oasis, Ljubu\u0161ki is also known for its significant cultural and historical heritage \u2013 in various localities you can find remains from almost every period of human history, of which it is worth mentioning: ancient Roman camp in Gra\u010dine, Huma\u010dka plo\u010da, The old town of Ljubu\u0161ki, and ste\u0107ak tombstones in the necropolises in Studenci, Bija\u010da and Zviri\u0107i.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-8652 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/ero-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Ljubuski-Kosaca.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" \/>\r\n\r\n<strong>The story of Ljubu\u0161ki<\/strong>\r\n\r\nAccording to folk tradition, herceg (duke) Stjepan Vuk\u010di\u0107 Kosa\u010da started building the town of Ljubu\u0161ki in honor of his wife Ljubu\u0161a, after whom, as the legend says, the town was named. In written sources, the name of the city was first mentioned in 1435 under the name \u201cLubussa\u201d. It was only in the second half of the 19th century that Ljubu\u0161ki was recorded on maps and plans by its present name. More recently, older documents mentioning the church and monastery in Ljubu\u0161ki on 15th February 1435, have been found in the Dubrovnik archives.\r\n\r\nThe area of Ljubu\u0161ki, as demonstrated by numerous historical remains, has been a very desirable place for settlement since ancient times. The first inhabitants in the Ljubu\u0161ki area were the Illyrians-Daorsons tribe who settled in the Trebi\u017eat valley. The Daorsons were later expelled by the hostile Ardiaei tribe and the Delmatians, who were shortly settled in the western part of Ljubu\u0161ki. Numerous remains show us how turbulent and active life took place during the Illyrian era. More than 1000 burial stone piles served mainly as tombstones for prominent members of the Illyrian clans. The fall of the Illyrian tribes and the arrival of the Romans in the area of Ljubu\u0161ki radically changed the ethnological, topographical and economic picture. Two Roman settlements also witnessed this change: Bigeste (in Radi\u0161i\u0107i and Humac) and Pagus Scunasticus (probably at Mostarska Vrata). The settlement of Bigeste was originally a road station and then a Roman military camp, which remains were excavated at the site of Gra\u010dine on Humac. Pagus Scunasticus as demonstrated by two inscription stone tablets was a veteran settlement (of discharged Roman soldiers) found at the Zorbinovac site. Numerous stone inscriptions, most often tombstones, which testify military units where active and ex-soldiers served, are kept in the Franciscan Museum in Humac. After the Romans in the 7th century the area of Ljubu\u0161ki was penetrated by the Croats. Due to the scarce remains from that period, we can say that the Ljubu\u0161ki region began to decline economically and culturally.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-8651 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/ero-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Ljubuski-Humacka-ploca.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" \/>\r\n\r\nOne of the few remains and one of the most significant is certainly the famous Humac Stone Tablet, an inscription in old Croatian Cyrillic with addition of several Glagolitic letters from the 12th century. The inscription tells us about the construction of the church of St. Mihovil to a parish of unknown name. One of numerous medieval monuments in Ljubu\u0161ki are certainly ste\u0107ak tombstones. About 600 ste\u0107ak tombstones have been recorded at 45 sites in Ljubu\u0161ki. Well-known archaeologist Radoslav Dodig states the number of 617 ste\u0107ak tombstones. However, what Ljubu\u0161ki is best known for is the medieval tower on the top of the Butorovica hill above Ljubu\u0161ki, which was declared a national cultural monument in 2004. Folk tradition associates its construction with herceg(duke) Stjepan Vuk\u010di\u0107 Kosa\u010da, although it is older than him. When the Turks conquered Ljubu\u0161ki in 1472, they built ramparts around the tower, built houses and a mosque in 1558.\r\n\r\nAfter the Ottoman rule, the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy came to power. The Berlin Congress gave Austria consent to occupy BiH. The army of the Austrian general Jovanovi\u0107 entered Ljubu\u0161ki on August 2, 1878 from the direction of Vrgorac. The period of the Austrian administration (1878-1918) meant a revival for Ljubu\u0161ki in terms of infrastructure, agriculture, industry, culture and administration. In 1884, culturally aware Franciscans led by Fr. An\u0111elo Nui\u0107, following the example of numerous European museums, established their museum in Humac near Ljubu\u0161ki. The museum in Humac is also the oldest museum in BiH. Also, it is important to note that next to the museum in the monastery on Humac is a rich library which today has over 20,000 titles from the period of the 16th to the 19th century and covers almost all areas of natural and social sciences.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-8653 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/ero-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Ljubuski-danas.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" \/>\r\n\r\nThe First World War (1914-1918) brought Ljubu\u0161ki: famine, poverty, Spanish flu and other troubles. A similar situation lasted during the Kingdom of Yugoslavia (1918-1941). The period from 1945 to 1990 is related to the communist and socialist system of the Federal People\u2019s Republic of Yugoslavia (SFRY). During that period, many Croats emigrated. Nevertheless, Ljubu\u0161ki developed in an industrial and agricultural sense, although the pace was not fast. After the Dayton Peace Agreement, Ljubu\u0161ki entered the County no. 8 together with Grude, Posu\u0161je and \u0160iroki Brijeg.\r\n\r\nFor more info visit page <a href=\"https:\/\/visitljubuski.com\/\">Tourist borad city of Ljubu\u0161ki (link).<\/a>\r\n\r\n<strong>What to visit in Ljubu\u0161ki\u00a0<\/strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>1.
