1969 Bosnia Bosnian Herzegovina Mostar
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the iconic Mostar Bridge in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina, as it looked in the late 1960s. The bridge, a masterpiece of Ottoman architecture, spans the Neretva River and connects the old Turkish quarter of Mostar with the modern part of the city. Built in 1566, the bridge was a symbol of unity and diversity, connecting the Christian and Muslim communities of Mostar. The photograph, taken in 1969, offers a glimpse into the past, before the devastating war that tore through Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 1990s. The image shows the bridge in all its glory, with the crystal-clear waters of the Neretva River reflecting the intricate stonework of the bridge's arches. The photograph also captures the hustle and bustle of life in Mostar, with people going about their daily business on the bridge and in the surrounding streets. The Mostar Bridge is not only a symbol of the rich history and cultural heritage of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but also a testament to the resilience of the people of Mostar. Despite the destruction caused by the war, the bridge was rebuilt in 2004, and today it stands as a symbol of hope and reconciliation. This photograph serves as a reminder of the bridge's storied past and its enduring significance to the people of Mostar and to visitors from around the world.
