MOSTAR, HERZEGOVINA 🇧🇦

The largest city in Herzegovina, Mostar is nevertheless small and enchanting, an Ottoman-era gem centred on the Neretva River. It is famous for its Stari Most, a stone, arched bridge built in the 16th century. It was destroyed during the Bosnian conflict in 1993 and rebuilt in 2004. Built from local pale stone, it arches steeply and is a popular jumping off spot for brave – some would say reckless – divers. The nearby alleys are full of shops and market stalls, the focus for much of the life in the city. A narrow staircase leads up to the Koski Mehmed Pasha Mosque’s minaret, perfect for panoramic city views.#urbanexplorer #mytripvlog #tripblazers #cafe #summervacation
