Ćumurija Bridge, Road bridge in central Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Ćumurija Bridge spans the Miljacka River and connects two parts of central Sarajevo with a steel structure that carries vehicles and pedestrians. It serves as a key crossing point over the river in the downtown area.
The original wooden structure was built in 1565 and was reconstructed with steel in the early 1900s. This rebuilding partly supported the railway line running from Bosanski Brod to Zenica.
The bridge gets its name from charcoal workers who once disposed of their materials from this location, reflecting the trades that shaped Ottoman-era Sarajevo.
The bridge provides direct access to Baščaršija and several nearby cultural venues. The best way to reach it is on foot or by public transport from the city center.
From 1919 to 1993, the bridge carried the name Zrinjskog Most, honoring a Croatian ban, before returning to its original name. This shift reflects different periods in the city's past.
