Stari Most

Mimar Hayruddin · Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina · 1566

Mimar Hayruddin’s single stone arch links the two sides of Mostar across the Neretva. The bridge’s steep profile and adjoining historic streets create a closely connected urban ensemble. The present structure is a reconstruction of the sixteenth-century bridge destroyed in 1993. Visiting: Free to cross; the best views are from the riverbanks below.
