EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the iconic Stari Most Bridge, or Old Bridge, in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Dating back to the 16th century, this Ottoman masterpiece was designed by the architect Mimar Hayruddin and spans the beautiful Neretva River. The bridge's distinctive horseshoe-shaped design, with its single span and two towers, has made it a symbol of the city and a must-see destination for travelers. The photograph, estimated to be from the 1910s, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the bridge in its timeless beauty. The serene Neretva River flows gently beneath the bridge, reflecting the towers and creating a mirror-like effect. In the background, the white walls of the Old Town and the red-tiled roofs of the houses can be seen, adding to the picturesque scene. The Stari Most Bridge is not only an architectural marvel but also holds great cultural significance. It has been damaged and rebuilt several times throughout history, most notably during the Bosnian War in the 1990s. Today, it stands as a testament to the resilience and determination of the people of Mostar, who have worked tirelessly to preserve this important piece of heritage. The photograph also reveals the presence of the nearby Serbian Orthodox Church, a reminder of the diverse religious and cultural heritage of the region. This image invites us to appreciate the rich history and beauty of Mostar and the Neretva River, making it a truly captivating and evocative piece of history.
