Old Stone Bridge (Prizren)
Ura e Gurit
An Ottoman single-arch stone bridge spanning the Bistrica River. With the Sinan Pasha Mosque and the hilltop fortress behind it, it is the iconic view of Prizren.
The stone bridge was built between the late 15th and early 16th centuries during the Ottoman period. It has a single curved arch and is for pedestrians only. It was washed away by a flood in 1979 and rebuilt in its original form in 1982. At the bridgehead are riverside grill restaurants and cafés. From the bridge you can photograph the minaret of the Sinan Pasha Mosque and the hilltop fortress together, making it the old town's most classic viewpoint. It is especially beautiful when the lights come on at night. Free admission and open all day, just a step away from Shadrvan Square.
