Definitely check this place out if you can considering it's free. The front gate was open so I didn't need to climb a wall to get inside. You can walk up stairs and climb a ladder to get to the roof of the building. There's lots of cool graffiti inside as well.
It is one of the main symbols of the war in the city, and anyone can go there to experience up close what happened there during the siege period.
20/09/2025. There were no chances to enter the building. Only if you were the sport boots and climb up on the wall
Building facade is riddled with bullet holes, a poignant reminder of the grim past. Wiki article explains the significance of this building during Bosnia war. There's barricade so can't access the interior anymore but touring the fascade is interesting enough. Some graffiti artworks cleverly use the bullet holes as part of the art.

Wide open front gate, no trouble getting in. There were 20+ tourists inside, easy to explore, lots of garbage and mess but very cool!
A horrifying relic of the past. A must see if you are in Mostar to see just what the locals suffered merely a few decades ago. It is not the only place with memory of the war all around it but it is one of the better known ones.
Just walk around the place and you can find a spot to climb into it. Front entrance is blocked for obvious reasons. Can go all the way up to the roof. Eerie place
Insightful little bit of Bosnian history to be experienced in this building. You can see here the remnants of what used to be the spot where innocent lives would be taken by defence forces, very chilling. There is plenty of street art around the base of the building, but the best works are inside. It’s fairly easy to get in even though there’s no official entrance, just walk around the base and toward the back of the building (where the flats are), you will see spots to enter. I have added a picture of the spot I used (March 2025). Then, just be wary of climbing the staircase as it’s no…
