'Bosnia. Colossal as the bridge of Mostar is, the graceful proportions of its age-tinted arch give it an appearance of airy lightness', c1920. Mostar is a culturally and economically important city located in southern Bosnia and Herzegovina. It rises between the Hum Hill and the Vele× Mountain and it is cut by the river Neretva. The Old Bridge, built by the Ottomans in the 16th century, is one of the most remarkable example of Islamic architecture in the Balkans. From Geographical Magazine, Volume 2, c1920.
