Summary/Abstract: The aim of the paper is to present the state of preservation and the degree of endangerment of one of the most famous medieval tombstone necropolises - Radimlje near Stolac. All recorded negative phenomena related to this necropolis took place in the modern era, a generally perceived time of social progress compared to older eras. Attention is drawn to the irreversible devastation of the locality by the construction of a modern road at the end of the 19th century in the Austro-Hungarian period, and to the disruption of the ambient whole surrounding the complex in the new millennium. Disruption of the appearance of the nearby landscape continues as this text is written. Considering the importance and popularity of the necropolis, the restoration of the tombstone was done on several occasions, the grounds were arranged, and legal protection measures were implemented. A special problem was the ignoring of legal regulations and the actions of local authorities contrary to the decisions of higher authorities regarding the protection of cultural and historical heritage.
