Description
Extracted from Wikipedia: "The Stećci (singular: Stećak), are monumental medieval tombstones. Appearing in the 11th century, the stećci reached their peak in the late 14th to 15th centuries, before dying away during the Ottoman occupation. Symbols of the tombstones indicate Gothic-Celtic origin. The word itself is a contracted form of the older word stojećak, which is derived from the verb stajati (v. stand). It literally means "the standing thing".
