Abstract
This paper analyzes the Mostar fortification system which has its origin in the Ottoman period (15th-19th century, mostly in the late 17th and the early 18th centuries). Nowadays it is almost entirely demolished or heavily devastated. This study, based on the analysis of the archives, field research and the first architectural survey of the remains, aims to provide insight into the entire town fortification complex. It points out its architectural and spatial features within the urban fabric of Mostar in order to identify and protect the existing structures.
