The Church of St. Luke

Church of St. Luke stands near the old stone bridge over the Vrljika River and has watched over the village of Kamenmost for centuries. Situated at what was once an important crossing between Bosnia and Dalmatia, the church witnessed the passage of merchants, travellers, armies, and caravans that used this historic route for generations.

The church was first mentioned in historical records in 1562, while its present appearance dates from 1772. One of its most distinctive features is the incorporation of Stećci Medieval Tombstones into its walls, reflecting the rich medieval heritage of the region. During the Ottoman period, the church also served as a refuge for the local population, and the preserved gun loops in its walls testify to its defensive role.

Local tradition recalls that the bells of St. Luke's Church were once used to tell the time. Carried by the bora or jugo winds, the sound of the bells could be heard for kilometres across the Imotski Field, serving as a natural timekeeper long before the advent of modern clocks.
