| The Old Bridge in Mostar was assembled through
the use of a really refined constructive technique. After months of studies of the bridge
ruins it has been possible to determine how the bridge was built. 
You can appreciate this unbelievable and
marvellous system in the description taken from the final architectural report worked out
by General Engineering. Never pubblished before !
This first section is about the load bearing
