An Ottoman stone bridge over the Miljacka river and, judging by its foundations, the oldest surviving bridge in Sarajevo. A census of 1541 mentions a bridge on this spot, apparently of wood, and Ali Ajni-beg built a stone bridge here before 1565. It is called Latin because it led to the Catholic quarter, known in Ottoman times as «Latinluk». A flood on 15 November 1791 badly damaged it, and the merchant Abdulah-aga Briga paid for its rebuilding. Today it stands on four arches and three strong piers, with round openings above the piers that give it its distinctive look. At its northern end, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife Sophie were shot dead by Gavrilo Princip on 28 June 1914, the event that set off the July Crisis and led to the First World War. In the Yugoslav era it was called «Princip's Bridge». The bridge is for pedestrians and free, a few minutes' walk from Baščaršija; it photographs best from the opposite bank in autumn or when lit at night. A small museum about that era stands on the corner near its northern end.
