  2. Koski Mehmed Paša Mosque

    Along the eastern side of Kujundžiluk is the 1618 Koski Mehmed Paša Mosque with a commanding view of Stari Most from its minaret. Within the mosque, lit by an immense chandelier plus natural light filtered through coloured glass, is some beautiful linear design work outlining the interior architectural shapes and mihrab.

  3. Stari Most (Old Bridge)

    Originally built in 1556, Stari Most was named 'petrified moon' on account of its elegant beauty. It took nine years to build with local Tenelija stone, which is very pale and appears to change colour depending on the position and strength of the sun. Recently rebuilt using the original 16th century methods, the new bridge resembles the old in minute detail.
