About this landmark
Most Sare Kašiković, also known as the Girls' Bridge, was built in the late 19th century during the period of the Congress of Berlin, when Bosnia and Herzegovina became part of Austria-Hungary. Built in 1896 from roughly dressed stone, the bridge is located on one branch of the Bregava River and originally served to connect private estates and gardens.
A special value of this bridge is given by the romantic legend of Sara Kašiković, who is said to have built it as a memory of her forbidden love. Because of this story, the bridge is still a symbol of love today and one of the most charming places in Stolac, where visitors like to stop and enjoy the view of the river.
This bridge is part of the broader architectural heritage from the Austro-Hungarian period, when numerous other buildings were also constructed in Stolac, bearing witness to a time of major social and urban change.
