Mostar Old Town Travel Guide

Mostar

Stari Most (Old Bridge) in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Original bridge dates back to the 16th Century but it was destroyed during the Bosnian War and rebuilt in 2004. Added to list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 2005.
Stari Most (Old Bridge), one of the most famous landmarks in Bosnia & Herzegovina. It is considered one of the most exemplary pieces of Islamic architecture in the Balkans. It was built in the 16th century, tragically destroyed in 1994 but rebuilt in 2004. It's an absolute must-see for anyone visiting Bosnia & Herzegovina. Or for anyone visiting Dubrovnik, Croatia! And Mostar, the cultural capital of Herzegovina region, is one of the most historically diverse cities in Europe. Today it is about half Croatian and half Bosniak. In the past there were also a significant amount of Serbs. It is really amazing to see all the diverse architecture! Which includes much Ottoman influence. But, the nature is incredible, as well! The mountains in the background and the river through the city! And all of the greenery around! Truly a remarkable city to visit!

Stari Most (old bridge) in Mostar, Bosnia was built by the Ottomans in the 16th century. It stood for 427 years before it was destroyed during the Croat-Bosnian War in 1993 and was rebuilt in 2004. A beautiful feat of engineering and a sobering icon of post-war resilience, the bridge is free to visit and walk across, and connects two sides of Mostar's lively Old Town. Tip: visit early in the AM (before 8) for a peaceful, crowdless experience. Stop to linger over a pastry and Bosnian coffee at one of the many Pekaras along the way. Don't miss! #StariMost #bridge #OldCity #Mostar #Bosnia #historic #medieval

Looking at this town it is hard to believe that this ethnically integrated crossroad settlement became a victim to politics that managed to divide the entire town along the length of the river with the Croats and Bosnian Muslims each living on either side of the Stari Most with separate lives and minimal integration.
