Daorson<\/strong> is a historic area near the city of Stolac<\/a>. It was the capital of a Hellenized Illyrian<\/strong> tribe called the Daorsi. In his prime, Daorson was the strongest city in this area (today called Herzegovina<\/strong>). The remains of this ancient city<\/strong> are located in O\u0161anji\u0107i<\/strong>, few kilometers from Stolac, on a hill 280-290 meters<\/strong> above sea level. From this location, ancient<\/strong> Daors had a view of the whole area of Stolac valley. Today, you can find remains of the city which are magnificent<\/strong>. Because of the big rocks shaped perfectly, it will make you wonder how people did this 300 years BCE.<\/p>\n Daorson was formed out of three units which of the acropolis was a main and centra<\/strong>l unit. It was surrounded by cyclopean walls made of huge stone blocks. Also, in the Acropolis was a base to all the important<\/strong> administrative, public and religious<\/strong> buildings. The defensive wall that was surrounding<\/strong> it was huge, 65 meters long, 4.2 meters wide and between 4.5 and 7.5 meters high. Furthermore,\u00a0 the Archaeologist<\/strong> have found a lot of ceramic-like wine amphorae. They used Greek<\/strong> mythological figures, like Aphrodite, Nika, Dionysius, Muse, Pegasus, and others, to decorate it. Besides that, they also used the Greek language and alphabet<\/strong> and kept trading relations with the Greeks. In Daorson they also found 39 different coins. Most of them had King Ballaios<\/strong> as the main object.<\/p>\n But, one of the most important objects that have been founded here is a helmet<\/strong> with the Greek inscription \u03a0\u0399\u0418. It was probably made in the 3rd<\/sup> century<\/strong> BCE and represents abbreviated Illyrian<\/strong> name of the owner PINNES (ancient king).<\/p>\n Daorson is listed as National Monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina.<\/strong><\/p>\n Would you like to visit this place?\u00a0 No problem!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Hit Booker will organize a tailor-made custom tour just for you<\/em><\/strong>.
