  Mostar Old Bridge

  Our next stop is the historic town of Mostar, a 40-minute drive from Jablanica. Nestled in a deep valley of the Neretva River, Mostar was developed in the 15th and 16th centuries as an Ottoman frontier town. As you explore the town, you'll see the iconic Old Bridge, Stari Most, and the charming old Turkish houses. Unfortunately, during the 1990s conflict, much of the historic town and the Old Bridge, designed by the renowned architect Sinan, were destroyed. But thanks to UNESCO and the effort of the locals, many of the buildings have been restored or rebuilt. Today, the Old Bridge area is a stunning example of a multicultural urban settlement, showcasing pre-Ottoman, eastern Ottoman, Mediterranean, and western European architectural styles.
