The Bridge of Mostar was an ancient architectural wonder. Its destruction was a symbol of ethnic hatred.

Rebuilding it was an essential step in healing the wounds of the conflict. However, no plans for the original bridge were believed to exist. Top experts from around the globe came together to unravel the mystery of how such a magnificent structure could have been built more than 400 years ago.
