The 500-year-old stone bridge and the divers who plunge off it. The 'Old Bridge' represents the heart and soul of the city and a rite of passage for local divers. The bridge, like a wise old man, draws you closer to hear a complex tale. A tale best told through Mostar's many landmarks. Each of these make up their own chapters in this weaving, sometimes shocking, narrative.<\/strong><\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Only a few hours drive from the popular sun-soaked coast of Croatia, Mostar has an altogether different feel.

Its position in the world between east and west has however made it a pawn in warring empires past and present. First the Ottomans, then Austro-Hungarians followed by the Soviet Republic of Yugoslavia. Each empire has used Bosnia's unique ethnic diversity and religious beliefs to divide these generally peaceful people in a quest to conquer the land.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Bosnia is made up of three main religious groups. Simplistically, Catholic Croats, Orthodox Serbs and Muslim Bosniaks. This distinction has traditionally been the trait that invaders have successfully used to manipulate, divide and conquer the people of Bosnia for centuries.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The most recent 1992-1995 conflict began after the breakup of Soviet Yugoslavia. Serbia first attempted to seize more control of available Bosnian territory. This was then followed by a freshly independent Croatia. The ruthless intensity of the fighting on all sides and systematic genocide of particularly Bosnian muslims over this period was atrocious and mass graves are still being uncovered in the remote wilderness across the country.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":25469,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"947\" height=\"353\" src=\"https:\/\/slingadventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sa-mostar-bridge-before-after.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25469\" srcset=\"https:\/\/slingadventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sa-mostar-bridge-before-after.jpg 947w, https:\/\/slingadventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sa-mostar-bridge-before-after-300x112.jpg 300w, https:\/\/slingadventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sa-mostar-bridge-before-after-768x286.jpg 768w, https:\/\/slingadventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sa-mostar-bridge-before-after-81x30.jpg 81w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 947px) 100vw, 947px\" \/><figcaption><em>Mostar Bridge during the height of the conflict (left) vs today (right)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:image -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2>Mostar Map<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>With the history super summarised, let's move onto the sights.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:html -->\n<figure><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/d\/embed?mid=1_mdP1bRujRM88L14eDk_YGQP8ApFHVZy\" width=\"380\" height=\"460\"><\/iframe><\/figure>\n<!-- \/wp:html -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading -->\n<h2>Stari Most (Old Bridge)<\/h2>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:image {\"id\":25472,\"sizeSlug\":\"large\"} -->\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"710\" height=\"710\" src=\"https:\/\/slingadventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sa-mostar-bridge2-710x710.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25472\" srcset=\"https:\/\/slingadventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sa-mostar-bridge2-710x710.jpg 710w, https:\/\/slingadventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sa-mostar-bridge2-710x710-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/slingadventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sa-mostar-bridge2-710x710-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/slingadventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sa-mostar-bridge2-710x710-81x81.jpg 81w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 710px) 100vw, 710px\" \/><figcaption><em>The rebuilt version of Stari Most.
