Stećak to nišan transition

Bosnia and Herzegovina

The stećak to nišan transition is a period in Bosnia and Herzegovina history marked by the end of the stećak tombstones usage and the transition to the first nišan tombstones. It is a cultural phenomenon on the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina temporally framed by the period between the second half of the 15th and the first half of the 16th century, a few decades before and several decades after the Ottoman occupation ending a period of the medieval Bosnian state. The tombstones of this form appear in many localities, such as around Sarajevo, Trnovo, Kalinovik, Rogatica, Olovo, Sokolac, Nevesinje, Prozor, Travnik and Glamoč. As Bosnia and Herzegovina's heritage, these tombstones are protected by KONS, whether they are found alone or in groups as part of necropolis.
