This work draws attention to the imposing fortress situated above Boljuni in the area of Stolac. Around 300 m long and 150 m wide, it fits into the characteristic geological base of rudist limestone from the Upper Cretaceous period. The strong fortification system with a dominant central mound made it an important link in the fortress organization of the Daorsi area. Apart from securing surveillance over the ponds and ship routes of the North-Western part of Hutovo blato, its position allowed it to control the communications towards the Adriatic seacoast in the zone of present-day Neum, Popovo polje and the area of Stolac.
