Tanners' Bridge, Ottoman stone footbridge in central Tirana, Albania.

The stone structure spans 8 meters in length, 2.5 meters in width, and reaches a height of 3.5 meters across an artificial pond.

The bridge formed part of Saint George Road in the 1700s, connecting Tirana with eastern highlands and facilitating livestock transportation into the city.

The bridge stands near the former leather crafting district, where specialized craftsmen processed materials from the adjacent butcher shops.

Located on Bulevardi Jean D'Arc, the pedestrian bridge remains accessible at all hours without entry fees or time restrictions.

The municipality restored the bridge in the 1990s after its abandonment in the 1930s when the Lana River changed its course.
