Crooked Bridge DSC_6434

Mostar

Crooked Bridge (Aslant Bridge or or Kriva Cuprija) was built in 1558 by the Ottoman architect Cejvan Kethoda. It was a test before the major construction of the Mostar (Old) Bridge (which was completed later in 1566) began.

Wow, Mostar! Not many people get to this little town and famous bridge. I heard it was destroyed during the war, after holding up for 200 year, and that they rebuilt it. Thanks for taking me back to this place.
