Herzegovina Province, Ottoman Empire
- Herzegovina Province, Ottoman Empire
The Province of Herzegovina or Pashaluk of Herzegovina was an Ottoman province from 1462 to 1851. Its last capital was Mostar.
History
The pashaluk originally started as a sanjak of the Ottoman Empire founded in 1462 with its seat in Foča. The first sanjak-beg of Herzegovina was Hamza-beg. The seat of the sanjak was later moved to Pljevlja (Taslidža). The Sanjak of Herzegovina was part of the Eyalet of Rumelia and later part of the Pashaluk of Bosnia. In 1833, the Sanjak of Herzegovina was separated from the Pashaluk of Bosnia and was transformed into a pashaluk. In 1833, Ali-paša Rizvanbegović, a native from Herzegovina, became the semi-independent ruler (vizier) of the newly formed pashaluk. After his death in 1851, the Pashaluk of Herzegovina was abolished and its territory was merged with the Pashaluk of Bosnia forming new entity known as Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Administrative divisions
The Pashaluk of Herzegovina was formed from following counties: Prijepolje, Taslidža with Kolašin and Šaranci with Drobnjak, Čajniče, Nevesinje, Nikšić, Ljubinje-Trebinje, Stolac, Počitelj, Blagaj, Mostar, Duvno and half of the county of Konjic which is on southern side of Neretva.
