Duke Momčilo's tombstones
The main tombstone of the group

The Tombstones of Duke Momčilo are a group of three medieval tombstones about 5 km to the South-East from the center of Teslić in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The exact location of the tombstones is in Brkića Potok, a sub-village of Vrućica. They are situated on the south-western sides of Stražbenica hill.

The locals named the tombstones as Duke Momčilo's tombstones and they believe that they are tombstones of the duke, his wife and their child. No historical or archeological research confirmed that there ever was any Duke reigning the area, nor was there any other ruler named Momčilo.

The tombstones are not under care of any official authority. No research concluded their age or origin.
