Arslanagića Ćuprija, Ottoman bridge in Trebinje, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The Arslanagića Bridge spans 80 meters across the Trebišnjica River with two large and two small semi-circular arches made of tufa and travertine stone.
Built in 1574 by Mehmed-Pasha Sokolović as a memorial to his son who died in battle against Venetian forces near Herceg Novi.
The bridge received its name from Arslan-aga, who collected crossing fees after Turkish families relocated to Trebinje following their retreat from Herceg Novi in 1687.
The structure stands 1.2 kilometers from central Trebinje, connecting the districts of Gradina on the right bank and Police on the left bank.
In 1966, engineers dismantled and relocated the entire bridge upstream to prevent its submersion during the construction of the Grančarevo Dam hydropower system.
