The Prehistoric Fortress of Straževica is a hillfort located on the peak of Straževica in the hamlet of Dragaljevo (village Hatelji, Berkovići municipality), rising above the Dabarski polje in eastern Herzegovina. The site is designated as a national monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina. While very little archaeological data exists about the property itself, a local legend tells that one of three sisters named Straževica built a church for the local population. The surrounding area contains numerous cultural and historical monuments but remains poorly researched archaeologically.
