Trebinje Bridge

The second Ottoman bridge is in a Bosnian town called Trebinje close to Dubrovnik. This bridge is called the Arslanagic Bridge and was built in 1574, though it was moved to its current location, almost in the suburbs, in the 1970s. It has a unique double-backed structure and was built under the direction of Mehmed Paša Sokolović, who was also behind the Višegrad bridge. The Trebinje bridge only received its name in the 17th Century, from Arslan-aga a nobleman who fled Herceg Novi, in modern day Montenegro, after it fell to the Venetians, and set up a toll collection in the middle of the bridge.
