The Velagicevina complex is located on a branch of the river Buna in Blagaj. It was built around 1766 and is comprised of three residential ensembles of houses and outhouses, linked by covered corridors. To the west of the residential quarters, on the other bank of the branch of the Buna, there were two musafirhanas (hostels) for travellers. Wooden bridges connected the two banks of the river branch. The spatial and architectural treatment of the complex forms a harmonious unity with the natural environment. The architectural ensemble of Velagicevina is one of the most valuable examples of the Islamic residential architecture in the middle of the 18th century, testifying the highly developed living culture of Herzegovina.
