Old Bridge Museum
Muzej Stari most
Housed in a tower at the eastern end of the Old Bridge, the museum traces the bridge's construction, destruction and reconstruction. The tower top overlooks the river valley.
The Old Bridge Museum is located in the Tara Tower at the eastern end of the Old Bridge. The exhibition spans several levels. Beneath the tower you can see the foundations of the old bridge and archaeological remains. The galleries use photographs and film to tell the story of the bridge's construction in 1566, its destruction in 1993 and its reconstruction in 2004 using traditional stonemasonry. The top-floor terrace offers a close view of the bridge deck and the river valley. Entry costs about 10 convertible marks, and the museum may close on Mondays in winter. It suits visitors interested in the history of the bridge and takes about 30 to 45 minutes.
Opening hours
About 10:00–18:00 (shorter in winter)
