Kujundžiluk Old Bazaar

Kujundžiluk is the oldest and most picturesque part of Mostar – a cobbled bazaar from the mid-16th century that runs from the Old Bridge to Mala Tepa, along the left bank of the Neretva. It takes its name from the kujundžije (goldsmiths) who had their workshops here; the first, Hadži Osman, is recorded as early as 1631. In the Ottoman era the street was the trading heart of the whole region and counted more than 500 shops. To this day it has kept its authentic look and several traditional crafts, such as hand-worked copper and carpet weaving.

Together with the Old Bridge, the bazaar offers an evocative cross-section of Ottoman architecture and everyday Mostar life – the bustle of craft shops, the aromas of traditional cuisine and the buzz of its cafés. It also offers the city's finest souvenirs, an essential stop on any visit to Mostar.
