Rimski most, Stone bridge in Donja Orovica, Serbia.
Rimski most is a stone bridge crossing the Ljuboviđa River in Donja Orovica, featuring one large main arch and a smaller secondary arch. The structure is built from limestone blocks and continues to serve as a crossing point between the riverbanks.
The bridge was built in the 16th century and long served as a key connection on the ancient trade route linking Ljubovija and Pecka. Over the centuries, it has safely carried generations across the river.
The bridge's name suggests Roman connections, though it was actually built during Ottoman times when the region was under different rule. Local people view it as a landmark that represents their area's craftsmanship and the way traditional builders worked with stone.
The bridge can be reached via established roads connecting Ljubovija and Pecka and remains easily walkable for pedestrians. It is best to visit during daylight hours to fully see the structure and the river valley.
The bridge features an asymmetrical design with one large primary arch and a notably smaller secondary arch, setting it apart from symmetrically built bridges. This unequal arrangement was a practical solution adapted to the river conditions at this location.
