Historical background
There are more than 60 thousand individual stećak tombstones in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and another several thousands in border areas of neighboring countries. Stećak necropolis is a large historic cemetery with elaborate tombstone monuments. The term implies a separate burial site at a distance from a settlement. A stećak has been used as early as beginning of the 12th century to as late as mid to late 16th, in some cases early 17th century, for funerals or commemorative purposes.[1][2] Stećaks that will later evolve into transitional variety of stećak-"nišan"s, a variety of stećak used in late medieval Bosnia by first converts to Islam after the Ottoman conquest of the Kingdom of Bosnia, could be mapped as stećak in combination with religious affiliation. Later still, these stećak-nišans will evolve into their final form as Muslim gravestones called nišan(s).[3]
On initiative of the Commission to Preserve National Monuments of Bosnia and Herzegovina, stećaks are inscribed on the World Heritage List by UNESCO since 2016. More than 4,000 individual monoliths are selected, and grouped in necropolises at 28 locations, of which 22 in Bosnia and Herzegovina,[4] two in Croatia, three in Montenegro, and three in Serbia.
