Mostar

I've been here.

Live webcam of the reconstructed Mostar Bridge. It stood for thousands of years, until heavy shelling in 1993 crumbled it into the river below. Formerly (and still?), one of the top UNESCO European Heritage sites, it's one of the "sites-to-see" in the former Yugoslavia. When I was there, only a temporary wooden bridge crossed the gorge, and they weren't even started on this new one. Many of the stones from the old bridge were retrieved from the water below and used in the new construction.
