Mostar bridge | Stari most | Стари мост 1566-1993-2004

Stari Most (Serbo-Croatian: Stari most, #Стари мост, lit. 'Old Bridge'), also known as Mostar Bridge, is a rebuilt 16th-century #Ottoman bridge in the city of Mostar in #Bosnia and #Herzegovina . It crosses the river #Neretva and connects the two parts of the city, which is named after the bridge keepers (mostari) who guarded the Stari Most during the Ottoman era. On 9 November 1993, Stari Most collapsed due to shelling by the Croatian Defence Council (HVO), since the bridge was a military target as the opposing Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina used it as a military supply line during the Croat–Bosniak War. Subsequently, a project was set in motion to reconstruct it; the rebuilt bridge opened on 23 July 2004. In 2017, the appeal court deemed that destruction was legal and that the bridge was a legitimate military target. The Old Bridge is an exemplary piece of #Balkan Islamic architecture. It was commissioned by Suleiman the Magnificent in 1557 and designed by Mimar #Hayruddin, a student and apprentice of the architect Mimar Sinan.
