Blagaj near Mostar is attracting a lot of attention from tourists this year as well.
Izvor Buna and Tekija in Blagaj are again this year a very attractive location for many people from the countries of the Arab world, as well as the Bosnian diaspora.
Even high temperatures did not hinder tourists from visiting this unique landscape in Herzegovina. Today, 35 degrees were recorded in Mostar.
According to Evlija Celebi, the tekke on Buna in Blagaj, about ten kilometers from Mostar, was built in 1697, and today’s building dates back to 1851, when Omer-pasha Latas had the building renovated.
Today, it is a tourist destination, and at the time of the Mevlud, tens of thousands of people visited Tekija from all over our country and abroad.
The tekke at the source of the Buna in Blagaj is known as an oasis of spirituality. It is a place of knowledge, peace and security, where believers seek spiritual inspiration and strength for all earthly trials and challenges where Mostar imams, dervishes and sheikhs teach traditional mevlud and zikr.
According to historians, the tradition of joint mass prayers in BiH is older than the arrival of the Ottomans in this area.
Near Tekija, a wider range of products is sold, from fruit to souvenirs.
There are price differences for entering Tekija, a fascinating building from the Ottoman period, depending on whether you are a citizen of BiH or another country.
