Day 286: Mostar: Bridges and Abandoned Banks

November 28, 2016

Today I left Croatia for now, and headed into Bosnia. The first stop was a small town called Mostar, with around 1000 years of history.

I got told about a place by a fellow traveller which was awesome - an abandoned bank which was destroyed in the war. Bosnia doesn't have enough money at the moment to rebuild a lot of the buildings, so many are still covered in bullet holes and grenade scars. This building was a bank which got completely blown out.

To get inside you have to jump over a fence and wander through the halls, but that was all part of the adventure! You can climb all the way to the roof, and see across the whole town.

After the building, we went to the other main attraction of the city, the old bridge. It was originally built in the 1300s, and was rebuilt after the war in the early 2000s.

The city is beautiful in a tragic way though.

We arrived in Sarajevo this evening, and will spend a couple of nights here.
