Mostar is the city of contrasts, wide roads, narrow streets, the traditional Kujundziluk (old bazaar) and a contemporary center, a city in which the culture and art of the east and west meet, which have left visible traces that have withstood the test of natural forces and rulers. Next to modernly built edifices there rise the towers of churches and the minarets of mosques. Nonetheless, the most magnificent stone monument is the Stari Most (Old Bridge), built in 1566 according to the plans of Hayruddin, the great Turkish architect of the 16th c. It has a large stone arch and the monument has been entered on UNESCO’s World Heritage List.

Encounter the richness of history in abundant quantities in Mostar, a stone town built upon a solid rock, nestled along the banks of the swift Neretva River, and home of the one of the most stunning canyons in Europe. Its plethora of monuments, largely from the era of Ottoman dominion that reached its westward zenith here, will leave an indelible impression. The blending of this invader with Western influences created a rare melange, a blend of Oriental, Byzantine, and Western civilizations.
The Stari Most (Old Bridge), a testament of beauty in solitude and grace, bends over the Neretva River in a towering arch, hence, referred to as the stone-cast crescent.
