Old Bridge Area

Discover the timeless majesty of Stari Most, the Old Bridge of Mostar. Designed in 1566 by Hajrudin, a student of the famed Ottoman architect Sinan, this single-arch stone bridge is as symbolic to Bosnia and Herzegovina as the Statue of Liberty is to the U.S. or Big Ben to England. For 437 years, it served as a majestic link, binding the eastern and western flanks of the city over the stunning Neretva River. Despite its tragic destruction during the 1990s war, the bridge was meticulously resurrected using the original techniques and materials, a testament to resilience and continuity. Recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, Stari Most now stands again in all its grandeur, a beacon of hope and a celebration of enduring beauty. Come, be captivated by its tale, etched in stone and resonating over the flowing waters of the Neretva.
