Muslibegovic House, Mostar
The Muslibegovic clan is a noble lineage of old Herzegovina. The family established themselves in Mostar after the fall of Herzegovina to the Venetians in 1687. Their historic residence in Mostar, the Muslibegovic House, preserves the family's former glory with furnishings and works of art from the Ottoman period.
The Muslibegovic House today is a national monument, museum, and small hotel located in the Brankovac neighborhood in Mostar. The monument consists of a residence, two courtyards, the surrounding walls, and gateways. In 1872, the house was enlarged with two rooms added to the ground floor and upper floor. The craftsman is known only by the name, Janjic.
