The Tvrdoš monastery goes back to the period of the 4th to 6th centuries. It was built on the foundations of an old church and since then was torn down several times and built up again.

This orthodox monastery, built in 1566, was one of the most important orthodox monasteries of Herzegovina in the 16th century, and dedicated to the Annunciation of the most holy mother of God. It’s situated south of Mostar on the Mostar - Čapljina way.
