EDITORS COMMENTS
Stari Most: A Symbol of Resilience and Beauty in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina The Stari Most, or The Old Bridge, is an iconic architectural masterpiece located in the heart of Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. This elegant and beautiful 16th century bridge spans the River Neretva, connecting the Old and New parts of the city. The Old Bridge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, stood proudly for over 400 years, bearing witness to the rich history and cultural diversity of this region. The Old Bridge, built in the late 1500s, is a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the Ottoman Empire. Its distinctive horseshoe-shaped design and the stunning minarets that flank it have made it a beloved symbol of Mostar and a must-see destination for travelers from around the world. However, on November 9, 1993, during the Bosnian War, the Old Bridge was tragically destroyed. The loss of this historic landmark was a blow to the people of Mostar and to the international community. But the spirit of resilience and determination that defines this city and its people shone through. The Old Bridge was rebuilt in the late 1990s and 2000s, and today it stands once again as a symbol of unity and hope. This photograph captures the timeless beauty of the Old Bridge in the 1930s, a reminder of its storied past and the enduring legacy it continues to hold for the people of Mostar and for all who visit.
