Latin Bridge in Sarajevo

Latin Bridge in Sarajevo

Latin Bridge (Bos./Serb. "Latinska ćuprija", named "Principov most" - "Princip Bridge" in Yugoslavian era), is a historic bridge over the River Miljacka in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The northern end of the bridge was the site of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria by Gavrilo Princip in 1914, which became a "casus belli" of World War I and the Long War.

History

Judging by its foundation, it is the oldest among the preserved bridges in the city. The census of the Sanjak of Bosnia from 1541 mentions the bridge on this spot, built by the leather-worker Hussein, son of Sirmerd.]
