Tinova kula, also known as Kapetanova or Dizdareva tower, is the largest of Vrgorac's eight Ottoman towers, built in the 17th century. The three-story structure features a rectangular floor plan constructed with irregular ashlar stones, standing 12 meters high with walls 80 to 100 centimeters thick. It was the birthplace of celebrated Croatian poet Tin Ujević, after whom the tower is named today. Owned by the City of Vrgorac since the 1970s, it now functions as a cultural center and gallery. It hosts the annual literary festival "S Tinom u Vrgorcu." Protected as cultural good Z-3819.
