Carev most, Stone bridge in Niksic, Montenegro
Carev Most is a stone bridge crossing the Zeta River in Niksic, built from multiple stone arches that rise above the water. The structure connects both riverbanks and forms a distinctive landmark in the local landscape.
The structure was commissioned in 1894 and reflects support from a European ruler for regional development. This investment shows how important infrastructure became for Montenegro during this period.
The bridge displays construction methods typical of the late 19th century through its stone arches that still shape the landscape. When crossing, visitors can observe the craftsmanship of the stonework and understand how important this structure became for connecting the region.
The crossing is located at the exit from Niksic toward Podgorica and is open to both pedestrians and vehicles. Visitors should bring suitable footwear as the surrounding area can be open and exposed to wind.
The bridge required extensive earthwork to stabilize the riverbanks, nearly equal in length to the span itself. This hidden engineering effort reveals how challenging the construction was due to the river conditions.
