Medieval Tombstones

Among Brotnjo’s numerous archaeological sites, the medieval cemetery of the Komlinović family at the Visočica site stands out. It is located in the central part of the Broćan field in Veliki Ograđenik.

The site is listed in older literature and the Archaeological Lexicon of Bosnia and Herzegovina as Bakri in Donja Blatnica, leading to some confusion regarding its correct location.

Approximately 400 meters east of the Visočica site lies the active Bakri cemetery in Donja Blatnica. Field paths cross the central part of the locality, dividing the Komlinović burial site into two groups.

Forty tombstones, including chests, slabs, and gabled markers, are visible at the site. Many are decorated with motifs such as twisted bands, rosettes, floral, and astral designs, carved in shallow relief.

The deceased were buried east-west, with stone markers positioned in the same direction.
