It is located in the settlement of Bjelojevići, 15 kilometers from Stoč, towards Hutovo Blato, Bosnia and Herzegovina. This necropolis contains 269 stećaks and is situated in a plain. Next to the necropolis, there is a site known as the Greek Well, commonly referred to by locals as Neveš voda.
In terms of shape, the most common type is the chest tomb (176), followed by slabs (82), ridge tombs (12), and four crosses. Out of the total, 92 stećaks (34%) are decorated. The most frequent decoration found on the Boljuni stećaks is the cross, followed by a twisted vine with a trefoil, a shield with a sword, rosettes, various borders, crescents, hunting scenes, tournaments, carts, and more. Original motifs from Boljuni include a lion, a woman holding a child, stylized rosettes, fantastic animals shaped like lizards, and a dance circle with a leader riding a deer.
