Hidden behind tall walls, Mostar's most historic old house was once the harem section of a larger homestead built for a 16th-century Turkish judge. Full of original artefacts, it still belongs to descendents of the original family.
The roof was lost in wartime bombardments but otherwise the pretty, half timbered structure has survived remarkably intact, including the bathroom boxes and the pebble-floored kitchen with meat-hanging beams. Sip homemade rose lemonade (1KM) or brandy (1KM) in the shady courtyard with its vines and persimmon tree. You might need to ring the bell and wait a while to get in.
