Mogorjelo kod Čapljine je spomenik iz rimskog perioda, gdje je u 1. vijeku izgrađena vila na poljoprivrednom imanju. U 3. vijeku vila je izgorjela od požara, te je početkom 4. vijeka izgrađena velika utvrđena vila, po uzoru na kastrume (vojne logore). Bila je pravougaonog oblika, opasana bedemima i kulama. Opskrbljivala je rimski grad Naronu i imala je odbrambenu funkciju.  Krajem 4. vijeka, osvojili su je i djelimično uništili Vizigoti. U 5. vijeku izgrađene su ranokršćanske bazilike na mjestu postojećih zidnih utvrada.

Mogorjelo near Chapljina is a monument from the Roman period where in the 1^st century a villa was built on an agricultural estate. The villa burned down in a fire in the 3^rd century and in the 4^th century a large fortified villa was built based on the castrums – military forts. The villa was of rectangular shape, surrounded by fortifications and towers. It supplied the Roman city of Naron and had a defensive role. At the end of the 4^th century it was conquered and partially destroyed by the Visigoths. In the 5^th century early Christian basilicas were built in the place of existing fortification walls.
