Step back in time at the Muslibegovic House, a national monument in Mostar that embodies the elegance of Ottoman-era Herzegovina. Built in the late 18th century, the house was commissioned by Mehmed Muslibegović, a member of a noble family who settled in Mostar in the late 17th century. Today, it stands as one of the most significant examples of residential architecture from that period. The complex comprises a main residence, two courtyards, and surrounding walls with grand entrance gateways. The house was expanded in 1872, with intricate wood carvings added by a craftsman known only as Janjic. Inside, you'll find original furnishings, handwoven carpets, and antique decor that transport you to another era. The museum displays priceless artifacts, including a rare handwritten Quran from 1855 and a decorated saber from 1866. Visitors can explore the haremluk (family section) and selamluk (male section), gaining insight into the traditional separation of spaces within an Ottoman household. The lush garden, adorned with roses and palm trees, provides a tranquil oasis in the heart of Mostar. The Muslibegovic House isn't just a museum; it's also a boutique hotel offering twelve uniquely decorated rooms, blending historical charm with modern comforts. Staying here provides an immersive experience, allowing you to live within the walls of a Bosnian National Monument.
