Borak Necropolis

The Borak Necropolis is part of the list of medieval necropolises of stećci that were included in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2016. Located in the Burati settlement within the Rogatica municipality, a total of 212 stećci have been documented at the Borak necropolis, of which 34 belong to the box type. Given the terrain's configuration, it is possible that the actual number may be even higher. Most of the stećci are covered with lichens and moss, surrounded by a layer of leaves, as they are situated within a young oak forest. Some of the stećci are partially or completely embedded in the ground. Three examples are decorated: one box-shaped and two ridge-shaped. The motifs on the decorated stećci include a crescent moon, a rosette, a hand with a sword, and depictions of a dog, a doe, a man, and a bear.
