Facts and practical information

In the city of Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina, a unique tribute to a global icon stands out: the statue of Bruce Lee. This bronze effigy honors the legendary martial artist and actor, who is celebrated not only for his film career but also for breaking cultural barriers. Erected in 2005, the statue is a symbol of solidarity and universal justice, resonating with the local community and visitors alike.

The choice of Mostar for the statue's location is significant. The city, which suffered greatly during the Bosnian War in the 1990s, found in Bruce Lee a figure representing the fight against ethnic divisions and adversity. The statue, therefore, serves as a poignant reminder of the city's resilience and the universal appeal of heroes who stand against oppression.

Standing in a relaxed yet ready stance, the statue captures the essence of Lee's spirit—poised, confident, and enduring. It has become a place of interest for tourists and a spot of inspiration for locals, reminding everyone that the principles of martial arts and the philosophy of Bruce Lee transcend boundaries.
