Mesi Bridge
Ura e Mesit
An 18th-century Ottoman stone arch bridge about 108 meters long, spanning the Kir River on the road from Shkodër to Theth.
Built in the late 18th century, this is one of Albania's longest Ottoman stone bridges. Thirteen arches of varying sizes span the Kir River, and the central arch rises almost 13 meters, making it a graceful sight. The bridge lies about 8 km from Shkodër, right beside the road to Theth, so it's a convenient spot for a quick photo stop. The deck is paved with stone slabs and can be crossed on foot. In summer, people swim on the riverbank below. The newly built road bridge next to it offers the best photo angle.
