- Built in 1566 by Mimar Hayreddin, a student of the famous Ottoman architect Mimar Sinan, the Mostar Bridge gracefully spans the Neretva River in Bosnia and Herzegovina’s historic city of Mostar.
- For centuries, it connected East and West, bridging cultures and communities.
- Tragically, the bridge was destroyed during the Bosnian War in 1993 — a powerful symbol of the conflict’s devastation. But in 2004, it was meticulously rebuilt as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, standing today as a beacon of peace, resilience, and reconciliation.
- Millions visit annually to witness this stunning testament to history and hope.
