The Crypt and the Tower in Rataji

In the village of Rataji, 3 km from the settlement of Miljevina, there is an interesting monument of medieval sacred architecture, representing a burial chamber with a crypt. The burial chamber is carved into stone. Archaeological research has established that a monastery once stood there, built before the 9th century. It was destroyed by the Turks in the 16th or 17th century, and the renowned Herzegovinian Čengić family later built a residential tower on the site. The tower was constructed of dressed stone and faced with tufa.
