Fazlagić Tower

Fazlagić Tower (Serbo-Croatian: Fazlagića Kula) is a ruined tower located near Gacko in the east part of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Fazlagić Tower (now Tower) is some six kilometers from Gacko, and it is located on south periphery of Kuljsko Fild. Fazlagića Kula was named after the tower, which was in 17th century built by Ahmed Fazlagić. It is said that the Fazlagić lived in Herceg Novi, where they perform various services, and Ahmed was a customs clerk. When the Venetians in 16th century occupied Herceg Novi, they moved many Muslim families, including three Fazlagić families. One went to Trebinje, second to Čapljina, and third to Fazlagić tower. Descendants of these three Fazlagićs still live in these areas.
