The Mostar Bridge is a historic bridge located in the city of Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The bridge crosses the Neretva River and connects the two parts of the city, Old Town and New Town. It is a stunning architectural marvel and a symbol of the city's rich cultural heritage.

The original bridge, Stari Most, was built in the 16th century and was considered a masterpiece of Ottoman architecture. It was designed by Mimar Hayruddin and was an iconic landmark of Mostar for over four centuries. Unfortunately, it was destroyed during the Bosnian War in 1993, leaving the city with a visible scar.

In 2004, the Stari Most was rebuilt, and the new bridge was officially opened in 2004. The reconstruction project was funded by the international community and was a symbol of hope and renewal for the city and its people. The new bridge is a faithful reconstruction of the original and is an exact replica of the 16th-century bridge. It has become a popular tourist destination and attracts visitors from around the world.
