The Emperor’s Bridge, Sarajevo

The first bridge over the Miljacka River was built in 1462 and led from Kolobara to the Emperor’s Mosque. During the Austro-Hungarian administration, the bridge was demolished. Later, a concrete bridge was built in the place of the old one, that led to the Konak Street. The Emperor’s Bridge is one of the most important structures from old Sarajevo, along with the small shops on both banks of the river that create an atmosphere of the past. Don't miss the opportunity to cross this full of history bridge.
