Paoča
Paoča is a village in the municipality of Čitluk, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The name Paoča is of Slavic origin. This is shown by one stećak from the cemetery, which was probably placed at the end of the Middle Ages. In addition, on November 18, 1432, the people of Dubrovnik recorded that the men of Prince Marko Grgurević (Milatović) and the men of Duke Vukašin Milatović attacked the Dubrovnik caravan near Paoča (a Chotaoza).
Friar Petar Bakula in his book Schematismus from 1867 states: ''Paoča is named after the famous spring Paočak or Palačak. It is characterized by a large noble cemetery and the production of excellent wine''.

The area that is now Bosnia and Herzegovina has been inhabited by humans since at least the Upper Paleolithic, but evidence suggests that during the Neolithic age, permanent human settlements were established, including those that belonged to the Butmir, Kakanj, and Vučedol cultures. After the arrival of the first Indo-Europeans, the area was populated by several Illyrian and Celtic civilizations. Culturally, politically, and socially, the country has a rich and complex history. The ancestors of the South Slavic peoples that populate the area today arrived during the 6th through the 9th century. In the 12th century, the Banate of Bosnia was established; by the 14th century, this had evolved into the Kingdom of Bosnia. In the mid-15th century, it was annexed into the Ottoman Empire, under whose rule it remained until the late 19th century. The Ottomans brought Islam to the region, and altered much of the country's cultural and social outlook.
