The southernmost city of Bosnia and Herzegovina is only 28 km away from the city of Dubrovnik. About 10 kilometers further one reaches Herceg-Novi in ​​​​Montenegro. If you drive north, after a two-hour drive you will find Mostar. Therefore, Trebinje is often a resting place for those who want to have a cup of coffee before continuing their journey. However, the undeniable beauty of Trebinje is an important reason for many tourists to visit and spend their holidays here.

Trebinje joins the ranks of Mostar and Stolac in beauty, but fortunately it escaped the fate of these two cities and was not badly damaged during the war, so its old town was preserved.
The old town of Trebinje dates back to the beginning of the 18th century. Today's old town of Kastel emerged from a former trading and handicraft center.
There is not a city in Herzegovina that is not built on the banks of the river. Trebinje is known as the city of sun and stone. But Trebinje is much more than that.
The Old Town lies on the bank of the Trebisnjica River. The river and town have always been known for their old mills. Even if they are no longer fully functional today, not so long ago they remained a symbol of Herzegovina.
In the history of Trebinje there were many different settlers. First came the Illyrians, then the Greeks, Romans and finally the Slovenes in the 7th century.
The empire of the Ottomans and Austria-Hungary also left important traces in architecture. Therefore, there are many places of worship for Catholics, Orthodox and Muslims. The Cathedral of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary is located in the town square. The Cathedral of the Transfiguration of Jesus is located in the city park. Finally, the Mosque of the Ottomans and the Emperor are located in the old town.
The old town and fort Kastel, named by the town's residents, were built in 1715. The Museum of Herzegovina, the narrow streets, dams and gates, especially the most famous Anđelkina, where the TV series "Ranjeni Orao" was filmed, make this part of the city authentic and interesting for tourists.
Emperor Constantine is said to have built many abbeys, including Duži, Zavala, Dobrićevo and Tvrdoš. They serve as proof of the spirituality and tradition in this area.
In Trebinje, this force of nature was greater before the flow was restricted by the Grancarevo dam, some 15 km northeast of Trebinje.
This dam would certainly flood the Arslanagica Bridge built in 1574. To save this fine example of Ottoman stone bridges, the bridge was demolished in 1965 and the stone brought to the city from a village just a few kilometers down the river.
Klobuk is the largest fortress in Trebinje. It lies on the border between Herzegovina and Montenegro. It is believed to have been built in the 9th century and that Pavlimir and Tešimir, the Slovene princes of Krajina, were buried there. Since the 12th century, this region was part of the Nemanjic state until it fell under the enlarged Bosnian state in 1377. Today only remnants of the city walls remain.
