Atmospheric night view of the Latin Bridge in Sarajevo photographed from the Obala Kulina Bana embankment. The Ottoman stone bridge with its elegant arches is reflected in the dark waters of the Miljacka River, while streetlights create evocative plays of light. In the background, Austro-Hungarian style buildings in the historic center overlook the river, testimony to the historical stratification of this crossroads city of cultures. This bridge, built in the 16th century, went down in history as the place where on June 28, 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated, an event that triggered World War I.
