The lively Ottoman market of Mostar with view of Stari Most

Colorful scene of the Kujundziluk bazaar, the ancient Ottoman market of Mostar leading to the famous Stari Most visible in the background. Local artists paint en plein air capturing the beauty of the bridge and surrounding landscape, while tourists stroll among stalls laden with traditional Bosnian crafts: hammered copper objects, carpets, ceramics and souvenirs. The stone houses with characteristic striped awnings house workshops and cafes where you can breathe the authentic atmosphere of the Balkans. The karst mountains frame this lively scene that testifies to the cultural and economic rebirth of Mostar after the dark years of war.
