6. Mostar
Mostar is situated on the Neretva River and is the fifth-largest city in the Bosnia
and Hercegovina. Mostar was named after the bridge keepers (mostari) who in
the medieval times guarded the Stari Most (Old Bridge) over the Neretva. The
Old Bridge, built by the Ottomans in the 16th century, is one of Bosnia and
Herzegovina's most recognizable landmarks, and is considered one of the most
exemplary pieces of Islamic architecture in the Balkans.
Old Bridge Area of the Old City of Mostar
The historic town of Mostar, spanning a deep valley of the Neretva River,
developed in the 15th and 16th centuries as an Ottoman frontier town. Mostar
has long been known for its old Turkish houses and Old Bridge. In the 1990s
conflict, however, most of the historic town and the Old Bridge, designed by the
renowned architect Sinan, was destroyed. The Old Bridge was recently rebuilt
and many of the edifices in the Old Town have been restored or rebuilt with the
contribution of an international scientific committee established by UNESCO. The
Old Bridge area, with its Ottoman, Mediterranean and western European
architectural features, is an outstanding example of a multicultural urban
settlement. The reconstructed Old Bridge and Old City of Mostar is a symbol of
reconciliation, international co-operation and of the coexistence of diverse
cultural, ethnic and religious communities.
14. Tepa Market 特帕市場
Just around the corner from the Koski Mosque is the Tepa Market. This has been a busy marketplace since
Ottoman times. It now sells mostly fresh produce grown in Herzegovina and, when in season, the figs and
pomegranates are extremely popular. Local honey is also a prominent specialty.

17. Koski Mosque (Koski Mehmed Paša Mosque)
One thing is certain, Koski Mehmed-pasha Mosque is neither the oldest, nor the
largest, nor the most important city mosque but is certainly most photographed. This
is primarily due to its position, along the Neretva River, and close vicinity to the Old
Bridge. In addition to the Old Bridge it is most commonly panoramas of Mostar.
Koski Mosque was built in 1617-1619 and is the only one in Mostar where the
original colors or ornaments and wall decorations have been preserved. Although
under the protection of UNESCO, the mosque was heavily damaged in the war in
1993, minaret was demolished and dome sustained serious damage.
