Latinska Ćuprija

tourist attraction in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Region: Central Bosnia — Sarajevo Region

Latin Bridge is one of the oldest preserved bridges in Sarajevo and an important symbol of the rich history of the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Located over the Miljacka River in the very center of the city, the bridge was built during the Ottoman period, and its current stone appearance dates back to the 18th century. With its elegant stone arches and simple architecture, it represents a valuable example of traditional construction from that time. The Latin Bridge is known worldwide as the site near which, on June 28, 1914, the assassination of Austro-Hungarian heir Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie took place, an event that marked the beginning of World War I. Today, the bridge is an unmissable tourist attraction in Sarajevo, connecting a rich cultural heritage, historical events, and the authentic ambiance of the old town core.
