This picutre was taken from our terrace. This significant historic bridge and much of the city were completely destroyed during the war in 1993. The bridge was restored and opened in July 2004.
The Neretva river flows through the heart of Mostar.

Even though it was still cold we were surprised to see a kayak. In the summer people dive from the top of the bridge!
Left, street designs using river stones. Below, a fountain in the courtyard of a mosque.
Above, we thought this was a creative and effective security method on the top of this wall.
Below is a view of the roof tops that are made from big heavy stones. I counted 6 mosques and two churches within view from our terrace. The tall thin steeples are minaretes that broadcast the call to prayer.
We had fun wandering around in this beautiful city. There is something magical about Mostar.
