Latin Bridge, Ottoman stone bridge in Stari Grad, Bosnia and Herzegovina
The Latin Bridge spans across the Miljacka River with four asymmetrical arches supported by three sturdy stone pillars decorated with distinctive circular reliefs.
Built before 1541 and reconstructed in 1798, this bridge gained worldwide recognition as the location where Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated in 1914.
The bridge structure incorporates traditional Ottoman architectural elements, including the circular openings above the pillars that appear on Sarajevo's official coat of arms.
Located in the heart of Sarajevo's old town, the bridge connects both banks of Miljacka River and remains accessible to pedestrians throughout the year.
The stone pillars feature characteristic relief circles known as bridge eyes, which became an enduring symbol in local architectural heritage.
