 | The Kriva Cuprija bridge (or the "curved bridge") is situated near the "Old Bridge" in Mostar where a small torrent flows into the river Neretva. |
| Built in 1558 by Cejvan Kethoda, this bridge is the oldest in the town and is traditionally seen as the model used to design the "Old Bridge". |
| Despite two series of bombings of the city in 1992 and 1993, the Kriva Cuprija bridge was not destroyed although part of the parapet was damaged and the paving was smashed in some places. |
