The Gavrankapetanovic family house is a complex located in Pocitelj, Capljina municipality (Geographic coordinates: 43º08'03.20''N, 17º43'53.44''E, elevation: 36). The complex was built during the 16th and 17th centuries, and consists of two smaller and one larger building, divided into a public part ('selamluk') and an intimate family part ('haremluk'). The elements of oriental architecture are the fenced inner courtyard ('avlija'), the layout of the horizontal and vertical plan, with halls on the ground floor and on the first floor ('hayat', 'divanhana'), hipped roof, windows with a sharp arch in densely placed rows. By the middle of the 19th century, the Gavrankapetanovic family house was abandoned and falling into disrepair, which is why a project to turn it into an art colony was launched in 1961 in order to preserve and restore the building. This was completed in 1975, with the central building converted into accommodation for artists.
