Summary/Abstract: Excavations of the remains of the old tekki (tekija) at the spring of Buna river in Blagaj near Mostar resulted with discoveries which are much older than the first building of tekki that have been erected after the Ottomans conquered this area. Our excavation ensured the complete reconstruction to its original shape. Old photographs showing the ruins of old tekki from the second half of the 19th century were also used for the proper reconstruction. Excavations have been made on the both sides of the approaching road, close to the existing tekki and tomb (turbe) . Four rooms have been excavated and a lot of attributed material from ottoman period was discovered (fragments of the painted mortar, clay pipes, fragments of pottery, pegs, horse shoes, knife blades, etc.).
