Stone Bridge, Vushtrri
Cultural heritage monument of Kosovo
The Stone Bridge (Albanian: Ura e Vjetër e Gurit - Ura me Nëntë Harqe; Serbian: Војиновића мост-Vojinovića most) is located in Vushtrri, Kosovo. It dates from the end of the 14th or early 15th century, and, according to popular legend, was built by the brothers Vojinović, mentioned in Serbian epic poetry as nephews of Tsar Dušan (King 1331 - 1346, tsar 1346 - 1355). It carried over the Sitnica river the trade route between Dubrovnik and Skopje and neighbouring parts of the Balkan Peninsula.
Despite the need, no conservation works were undertaken on the bridge,[1] and in 1990 it was declared as a Monument of Culture of Exceptional Importance by the Republic of Serbia.[1]
