Hum is a small mountain located south of Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina, on the left bank of the Neretva river. The 436-meter high mountain is part of the Čvrsnica region of the Dinaric Alps.[1][better source needed]
In 2002, the "Millennium Cross" was erected on top of the hill. The cross, measuring 33 metres, is meant to celebrate two millennia of Christianity, making it a controversial landmark due to Mostar being populated by both Christians and Muslims.[2]
