Exploring Blagaj, Bosnia: A Dervish Monastery and Natural Beauty


Blagaj⭐ is situated at the spring of the Buna river and a historical tekke (tekija or Dervish monastery). The Blagaj Tekija was built around 1520, with elements of Ottoman architecture and Mediterranean style and is considered a national monument. 
The monastery itself was built by the Dervish, a mystic branch of Sufi Islam known for rituals that involve various forms of whirling.
