🇧🇦 Mostar and its bridge by night

The old town of Mostar is very small but full of tourists who come to see the ancient bridge or who pass by after visiting the nearby Mejugorie.

The river and its bridge in 1994 were considered the border area between Croats/Bosnians (Catholics) and Bosnians (Muslims).
After being hit by all forces in the field, on 9 November 1993 the bridge was completely destroyed in a Croatian bombardment.

The new bridge was inaugurated in 2004, cost 12 million euros (3 of which were paid by Italy) and was built using medieval techniques.
Today it is a UNESCO heritage monument and symbol of reconciliation after the war.

Curiosity: pay attention on the bridge and the old city in general because the friction on the stones is almost zero and you risk slipping.Read more
