Bridge in Mostar

Crooked Bridge

The Kriva Cuprija (Crooked Bridge) is a small Ottoman stone arch bridge near the Stari Most, built in 1558 as a test before the construction of the larger bridge began. Free to cross. The bridge spans the Radobolja River in a single arc just a few meters above the water. Budget travelers find it by walking south from the Old Bridge through the quieter alleys, and see the prototype for one of the most famous bridges in the world.
