Mehmet Paša Sokolović Bridge

TIME : 2016/2/18 16:56:05

Višegrad's main attraction is its glorious 10-arch Mehmet Paša Sokolović Bridge built in 1571. The structure was immortalised in Ivo Andrić's Nobel Prize–winning classic Bridge on the Drina .

It looks especially fine at dusk as the mists rise off the canyon-backed river, though major ongoing restoration works mean that actually crossing the bridge is likely to be impossible until 2016.
