The story of Stari Most
The Ottoman architect Mimar Hayruddin finished the bridge in 1566. For 427 years its single 29-metre stone arch stood over the river, and the town took its name from the "bridge keepers" (mostari).
In November 1993 the bridge was destroyed during the war. It was rebuilt using original techniques and stone raised from the river, reopening in 2004. UNESCO listed it in 2005.
