Radimlja is a stećak necropolis located near Stolac, Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is located in Vidovo polje, 3 km west of Stolac, on the Čapljina-Stolac road. The Radimlja necropolis is one of the most valuable monuments of the mediaeval period in Bosnia and Herzegovina.HistoryMost stećak tombstones date from the late 15th and 16th centuries, when the Vlach family Miloradović-Stjepanović (genus Hrabren) lived in a settlement (katun) located on the nearby hill of Ošanići. At the time, the location was known as Batnoge, and the period of time when the necropolis was created coincides with the social and economical rise of the Vlachs.The Miloradović-Stjepanović family were of Orthodox faith. Their founder was a Vlach chieftain Milorad, who lived in the second half of the 14th century. In 1416, his son Stipan, on appeal by Ragusa, fought with Petar Pavlović against Sandalj Hranić and the Ottomans. Stipan had three sons: Petar Stjepanović, Radoja Stjepanović, and Vukić Stjepanović. Members of the family were variously named voivodes and knezes, held Vlach military positions, and owned land between Stolac and Mostar. Their katun was the largest (127 houses and 16 unmarried persons) among all the 37 lower Vlach katuns of the nahiye of Blagaj (1383 houses and 177 unmarried persons in total).
