Bridge At Mostar

This bridge was initially built by the Turks in 1569 - at that time it was the largest stone arch bridge in the world. It was named a UNESCO site. It was destroyed by the Croatian forces in the Bosnian Civil War in 1994 - a particularly senseless act in what everyone now recognizes as a senseless war. The bridge was rebuilt according to the original plans, using as much of the original stone as possible..Mostar is the largest city in the Herzgovina portion of Bosnia and is mixed Croatian & Bosnian.
