The symbol of Konjic – Old Stone Bridge: The place where Bosnia joins Herzegovina The old stone bridge in Konjic is one of the four most important in Bosnia and Herzegovina, next to the Old Bridge in Mostar, the Višegrad Bridge on Drina and the Trebinje Arslanagić Bridge. Beautiful BH monument, built in 1682, was also on the list of protected cultural and historical heritage of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and many consider it a point where Herzegovina joins Bosnia. Bridge was a masterpiece of architecture of the 17th century. As a builder, the legend mentions Aliaga Hasečić, a senior officer in Istanbul, while some authors, without quoting sources for their claim, attributed this to Ahmet-paša Sokolović. Giacomo Luccari made the first record of Konjic Bridge in 1790. English architect and travel writer Sir Arthur John Evans made the second record of the stone bridge in Konjic in 1875 when he traveled through Konjic. During withdrawal, on March 3, 1945, the bridge was bombarded by German forces, and only stone pillars remained standing. Since it was the only pass over Neretva, in 1946, a new concrete bridge was built below this one. Through the remains of the stone oak in 1962, reinforced concrete one replaced the existing wooden structure. In 2006, the Municipality of Konjic began working on reconstruction of this symbol, with help of the Government of the Republic of Turkey and the Government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina; as well as the revitalization of an Old Town of Konjic with the reconstruction of old shops that were right next to the bridge on the left. 2,408 blocks of tuff, more than 10 tons of lead, almost five tons of clamps were installed in the reconstructed bridge, and everything was fixed with mortar made like it used to be, from sand, lime and minced bricks. The length of the bridge is 101.80 meters and the width is 5.25 meters.

The works of art correspond with the space and are thematically connected with the cold war, which gives this facility perception of the contemporary art gallery. In 2014, the Commission for the Preservation of National Monuments of Bosnia and Herzegovina declared ARK D-0/Tito’s bunker a National Monument. The internal part of the facility, also called “the protected part” takes up to 6500 m2 and is made in a horseshoe shape. It consists of 12 functional blocks, closely connected, each block had its purpose and function, and it gives the impression of a small underground town. Originally, the facility was built with the intention to protect and accommodate 350 people from the military and political elite of Yugoslavia, who would stay in the facility for 6 months in case of an atomic attack. Despite the fact that the facility is isolated, it’s perfectly safe, well-appointed, and offers a unique experience for every visitor.
