The Old Bridge

The Old Bridge, also known as Stari Most, is a historic stone bridge in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Built in the 16th century during the Ottoman Empire, it spans the Neretva River, connecting the city's two parts.

It was destroyed during the 1990s conflict but was carefully reconstructed and reopened in 2004, emphasizing its importance as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Today, the Old Bridge attracts visitors and local residents alike, serving as a testament to historical craftsmanship and the enduring spirit of peace and reconciliation.
