Bišćević House
Bišćevića kuća
A 17th-century Ottoman noble residence with carved wooden ceilings, a divan-style living room and riverside terraces, showing the daily life of a Muslim family.
Bišćević House was built around 1635 and is one of the best-preserved Ottoman-style homes in Mostar. It stands on the riverbank, and its upper-floor living hall (divanhana) juts out over the Neretva River. Inside are the original carved wooden ceilings, low divans, carpets, copperware and traditional costumes. The courtyard is paved with stone and has a pool, reflecting the traditional family layout with separate spaces for men and women. Entry costs a few convertible marks. The house opens seasonally and may close in winter. It can be visited on foot together with Muslibegović House and Karađoz Bey Mosque.
