View of the Stećci graveyard Dugo polje in Blidinju towards the north.
"Dugopolje is best known for the stećak necropolis located at the foot of Mount Vran and near Blidinjsko jezero .The necropolis covers a surface of 90 x 36 m, south of the macadam path and consists of 150 stećci, of which 72 are in the form of panels, 59 chests, 14 tall chests, 4 in the shape of a sarcophagus on a pedestal and one without a base. The necropolis can be divided into three stone pillars (the Snake Pile next to the main road, the other in Risovce and the third at the nearby village of Orašac), and in their position and layout were most probably the signs for the old-fashioned road that was going on in the ancient times."
