The Biscevic House is one of the magnificent architectural structures of the Ottoman period. From the time of construction, in 1635, to the present day, it belongs to the family whose name it bears. Currently, the owners do not live here, and the house is used as a museum. After the old bridge, the house is the most interesting attraction in Mostar. This real Turkish home is beautiful both inside and out.

Made in accordance with all eastern requirements and traditions. High walls surround the house to protect women from the gaze of strangers. Inside the house is divided into two parts - male and female. The cozy stone-paved patio has everything to relax. Here you can sit in the shade near the murmuring fountain in silence - the sounds of the street are absorbed by the stone wall.

As in all eastern houses, the first floor is occupied by utility rooms and servants' rooms. Living rooms are located on the second floor. At the entrance to the house there are eloquently oriental slippers for tourists, recalling national traditions.

Typical Ottoman rooms: dark furniture looks great against the background of whitewashed walls, the floors are covered with oriental woven rugs. The house is very cool, despite the lack of air conditioning - also due to the peculiarities of the building, which combines stone and wood. As in all Turkish houses, there are many windows, along which, along the perimeter of the rooms, there are low sofas covered with oriental carpets. In front of them are also low carved or metal tables. The walls are decorated with quotes from the Quran: beautiful calligraphy in frames.

You can try on national clothes in the house, which is taken out of old chests. Taking pictures is allowed. In addition to the exotic interior, it is worth photographing the picturesque view from the windows of the second floor. This is evidence of caring for the wives who used to stay at home. Their only amusement was to look out the window.
