Mostar

Mostar, named so for Stari Most (Old Bridge), is another Ottoman site almost entirely destroyed in the mid-90s.  Even the historic bridge that makes Mostar famous was shelled to nothing by the Serbs, though now it is rebuilt to the former specs.  Here even more than in Sarajevo, we felt the results of the war amongst the many unrepaired buildings and homes in the area.
