In Mostar, there are numerous palaces to be seen, built during the Austrian-Hungarian period, which demonstrate the blending of western and eastern architectural styles (pseudo-Moresque style). Amongst the most interesting: the Secondary School (1898), the most prestigious school of the city (in Španski trg) and the Public Bath (1914), built according to a project of the architect Rudolf Tonnies with the support of Miroslav Loose.These are imposing buildings in the Austrian-Hungarian style where the Moorish ornamental features are particularly notable.

In the Public Bath (in Musala b.b.; open 8.00 am - 5.00 pm from Monday-Friday), recently restored and now open to the public, you can swim in covered swimming pools or ask for relaxing massages and various treatments. Moreover, a fitness gym, a solarium and a beauty salon will let you find a pleasant and relaxing way of combining a knowledge of the city with well-being.
