Kriva Ćuprija, Ottoman arch bridge in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The Kriva Cuprija bridge extends 8.42 meters across the Radobolja River with a single stone arch design and limestone construction.
Built in 1558 during the Ottoman Empire, the bridge demonstrates engineering techniques that influenced the development of other stone bridges in the Balkans.
The bridge stands as a national monument within Mostar's Old Town, representing centuries of Ottoman influence on local architecture and engineering methods.
Located near restaurants and markets, the bridge serves as a pedestrian crossing point connecting different sections of Mostar's historic district.
The bridge's name translates to Curved Bridge, referring to its distinct angular approach path rather than the arch structure itself.
