The municipality is also home to a significant number of Stecak tombstones, as well as the Church of Prince Lazar.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A favorable climate and geographic location have made Ljubinje historically known as an agricultural region where every meter of land is cultivated. Recognized for its centuries-old tobacco production, which was an important source of income and remains so to this day, Herzegovinian \u201cskija\u201d tobacco has been enjoyed throughout history by sultans, qadis, corporals, officers, dukes, archdukes, common folk, travelers and writers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ljubinje is also notable for products made from medicinal and aromatic herbs, particularly lavender and immortelle. Antiseptics, teas, cosmetics and inhalation oils are just part of the range produced in this small municipality rich with hardworking people.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>Nature<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-12527 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/visitsrpska.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/zeleni-hrast-selo-bancici-350x350.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visitsrpska.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/zeleni-hrast-selo-bancici-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/visitsrpska.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/zeleni-hrast-selo-bancici-550x550.jpg 550w, https:\/\/visitsrpska.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/zeleni-hrast-selo-bancici-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/visitsrpska.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/zeleni-hrast-selo-bancici-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Among the natural rarities, the \u201cGreen Oak\u201d in Bancici stands out, which is related to Saint Sava.

In gratitude, he blessed it to remain green forever. The Green Oak is a centuries-old tree and its leaves do not go yellow, retaining their greenery until late March.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h4>Gastro<\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-12862 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/visitsrpska.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/DSC_4232-350x350.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\" srcset=\"https:\/\/visitsrpska.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/DSC_4232-350x350.jpg 350w, https:\/\/visitsrpska.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/DSC_4232-550x550.jpg 550w, https:\/\/visitsrpska.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/DSC_4232-1100x1100.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/visitsrpska.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/DSC_4232-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/visitsrpska.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/DSC_4232-100x100.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Interestingly, the only factory for processing garlic in the Balkans is in Ljubinje.
