Šeher-Ćehajina Ćuprija

40 m long, the first of thirteen stone bridges built by the Ottomans in Sarajevo.
This 40-meter-long bridge (Šeher-Ćehajina Ćuprija) connects the Vijećnica (Baščaršija neighborhood) with the lovely restaurant Inat Kuća (Bistrik). This was the first of thirteen stone bridges built by the Ottomans in Sarajevo: the oldest source mentions it in 1585. Several times damaged by floods (it lost two of its three piers in 1843), it owes its name to the distortion of the Turkish term şehir kahyası ( "city steward") which referred to the mayor of Sarajevo. Upstream is a small dam and downstream is the "New Vijećnica Bridge" (2003).
