Another highlight of my recent Balkans trip was seeing the 'Old Bridge' over the Nereteva River in Mostar. The bridge was originally built by the Ottomans in the 16th century, but had to be reconstructed after being destroyed during the recent Balkans conflict. It was also interesting to read that Mostar is named after the old bridge-keepers who used to guard the 'Old Bridge' ('Stari Most'). The picture below captures something of the mood of tourists walking over the 'Old Bridge':
