Stari Most - Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina


Mostar is situated on the Neretva River and is the fifth-largest city in the country. During the Ottoman era, Mostar was named after the bridge keepers who guarded the Stari Most over the Neretva. The Old Bridge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, commissioned by Suleiman the Magnificent in the 16th century, is one of Bosnia and Herzegovina's most visited landmarks and is considered an exemplary piece of Islamic architecture in the Balkans.
