A beautiful ancient site. We got there on a blustery day and were the only people there except for a shepherd and his flock of goats and sheep. The huge are amazing and have stood since around the 5th century BC. Feels like a very ancient place. One of the most intriguing culture site you will ever visit! Illyrian of the Doarson tribe, in my humble opinion are much older megalithic structure that needs to be studied 🗿 Really amazing and mystical place. If you like history and exploring ruins, I would definitely recommend reading about Daorson, and visiting this majestic place. The road is not paved, but overall ok. :D Interesting archeological sight. With a great view. The single lane road starts off paved but becomes gravel half way. The best way to get here is by car using a local village (asphalt) road. This represents a very important historic site. It may be disapointing that there are only one side of the preserved but the wall blocks are huge and amazing. Beautiful examples of megalit size blocks, made by ancient Illyrian people called Daors who used to leave in this part of todays Hercegovina. Be respectful for the enviroment and dont throw garbrage around. people even academia doesnt get the importance of the place as the one of the few true megalitic places in balcan Interesting thing, bad road Absolutely beautiful, middle of nowhere mind buggled how the ancients manage to bring that stones in that position mad how to survive in such a harsh environment. Suggest going with a car all the way to the watch out for locals sheep hearding and cow farmers along the way. Something about the freshness of the air or the wild pomegranate in the wind breeze makes this place extra special. DAORSON Ilirski grad Daorson pokraj Stoca zaštićeni je spomenik BiH, a izgradili su ga pripadnici ilirskog plemena Daorsi. Grčki pisci ga spominju već 500 godine pr.n.e. Na tom su lokalitetu pronađeni brojni ostaci života. Bio je to helenizirani grad kojeg zovu i hercegovačka Mikena. Daorse je pobijedilo drugo ilirsko pleme Delmati, a grad je spaljen i od tada u njemu nije bilo života. Krase ga tzv.kiklopski zidovi od megalitskog kamenja bez korištenja vezivnog materijala. Divno je biti na mjestu gdje je život bio prije više od 25 st. i u mislima osjetiti duh tog vremena. Hodati uzvisinom na kojoj je izgrađen, sa pogledom na Vidovo polje, a kojom su hodali Iliri i Grci čiju su kulturu usvojili. Za nekoga je ovo hrpa kamenja, za mene mnogo više. To su mjesta gdje sam svoja na svome i gdje uživam i predajem mu se cijelim svojim bićem. Radi se o tako impozantnom nalazištu da ga vrlo rado dijelim sa vama. Historical landmark in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Just amazing place to adventure if you're in the city of Stolac the road is ok slow drive and shouldn't have any issues its worth it. Geweldig steilen weg maar zo de moeite waard heel mooi Worth a see if passing by. Not much left of what was once a vast structure, but nevertheless fascinating. Pay special attention to the monumental scale of the stone slabs and the ways in which they were peculiarly cut and stacked. One of four places on the entire planet that had these huge stacked blocks, weighing up to 80 metric tonnes, the Illyrian old town of Daorson was a fortress that got destroyed by another Illyrian tribe, Dalmats. Daorson was allied to Romans, where Dalmats were allied to Greeks. There were 3 towers on these walls, meant as a last defense line, with from 5 to 8 metres thick. Behind the was the settlement that oversees the entire valley, very strategically placed. Just be careful as there are open cliffs surrounding you from all the sides when you pass the magnificent walls. Maybe even the oldest city so far discovered on the Balkan peninsula. It is clearly megalithic building. The precision of some of the blocks that are put together without a mortar resembles the architecture of ancient Egypt, Peru etc. It could be from the preflood era. It is very very old. Only a fraction of the stronghold remains standing today and part of it is because it is on a firm ground on the top of the ridge. My guess is that there was a river going through the canyon that is now gone. Also You can see that the city was built in cascades that lower down the ridge. When You look at the geology of the site it is clearly seen that the ridge deteriorates becuase of its composition. So as a result of that the lower walls, or the most of the city if you wish, fell appart and ended up in the canyon from where the recicling of the massive blocks happend by the upcoming people of the area… 가는 길이 아주 험하지만 거석문명을 엿볼 수 있습니다.
