Goat's Bridge, or Kozija Ćuprija, is a large Ottoman stone bridge over the Miljacka River east of central Sarajevo. It is the only fully preserved Ottoman bridge still spanning this river, set among woods in a quiet valley, and it is a national monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Ottomans built it in the 16th century. The oldest written record comes from Mula Mustafa Bašeškija, who noted in 1771 that a stone wall was built from the bridge to Alifakovac. The same white stone was used for the Bijela Tabija fortress and the Višegrad Gate in nearby Vratnik. The bridge is a harmonious structure of white stone, with one main arch and two round openings that lighten its weight. Trees shade it, and the water runs beneath among rocks. The best angle is from the riverbank. It is linked to the Dariva walkway, about 8 km between Bentbaša and the bridge through the Miljacka canyon. It is 3.6 km in a straight line from central Sarajevo. Many people walk there along Dariva from Bentbaša in about an hour and a half, or take a taxi and walk back. Bring comfortable shoes and water. Spring and autumn are loveliest for the woods. The stone is slippery after rain, so take care going down to the riverbank.
