EDITORS COMMENTS
Bosnia and Herzegovina's picturesque town of Konjic, nestled along the banks of the serene Neretva River, is home to the captivating Stara Kamena Cuprija, or Old Stone Bridge. This historical landmark, a testament to the region's rich past, has stood the test of time, having been rebuilt following its destruction towards the end of World War II. The Old Stone Bridge, a symbol of Konjic's resilience and heritage, spans the Neretva River with grace and elegance. Constructed from large, rough-hewn stones, the bridge's arches mirror the gentle curves of the river, creating a harmonious blend of nature and architecture. The bridge's intricate design, featuring ornate carvings and ornaments, showcases the craftsmanship and artistry of the local builders. The town of Konjic, located in the heart of Herzegovina, has a long and storied history. The Old Stone Bridge, first built in the 16th century, has served as a vital connection between the town's two sides, allowing for the passage of people and goods. Over the centuries, the bridge has withstood numerous invasions, natural disasters, and the ravages of time. However, it was during World War II that the bridge suffered its most significant damage. After the war, it was painstakingly rebuilt, preserving its original design and beauty. Today, the Old Stone Bridge remains a popular tourist destination, drawing visitors from around the world who seek to experience the history and charm of Konjic and Bosnia and Herzegovina. As the sun sets over the Neretva River, the bridge casts a warm, golden glow, inviting travelers to pause and reflect on the past while enjoying the present moment. The Old Stone Bridge is a reminder that even in the face of adversity, the spirit of a community can endure, and its history can be preserved for future generations to appreciate.
