The Road to Pocitelj




Pocitelj Old Town Before Its Destruction at the Hands of the Croat Defense Council (HVO) in the Fall of 1993.



Pocitelj After the HVO Destruction of the Old Town - Compare to the picture above. Notice that only the square base of the mosque remains. The dome and the minaret have been destroyed. For detailed pictures of the HVO destruction, see below.


The HVO laid demolition charges at the base of the minaret

which caused that tall and slender stone structure to come crashing down on top of the dome,


collapsing the center of the main dome and two of the smaller domes covering the portico.
