Magical night view of Stari Most, the famous Old Bridge of Mostar, reflected in the calm waters of the Neretva River. The elegant white stone arch, illuminated by warm lights, creates an enchanted atmosphere while the medieval Helebija and Tara towers watch over its sides. This masterpiece of Ottoman architecture, built in 1566 by order of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, was tragically destroyed during the 1993 war and faithfully rebuilt in 2004, becoming a symbol of reconciliation. The rocks of the riverbed emerge from the water creating silvery reflections that complete this scene of extraordinary Balkan beauty.
