POCITELJ - Bosnia & Herzegovina



"This unique settlement, listed as a UNESCO heritage site was heavily damaged during and sadly even after the war but recent reconstruction has returned the town to its original form. The 1992-1995 war meant the destruction and looting of Pocitelj's mix of Mediterranean and Turkish architecture and the magnificent examples of the world's architectural treasury have been trashed. Today Pocitelj hosts again the longest operating art colony in southeast Europe.Artists from around the world gather here to paint, among other things but importantly, the shiny red pomegranates and figs."
