Free time to explore Andri\u0107grad and the old Mehmed Pa\u0161a Sokolovi\u0107 Bridge<\/strong><\/p>\n

The town of Vi\u0161egrad stretches along the right bank of the Drina River, and partly along the left bank as well, on both sides of the Rzav River, which flows into the Drina here in eastern Bosnia and Herzegovina. The town\u2019s greatest landmark is the bridge over the Drina, built in 1571 by Mehmed Pa\u0161a Sokolovi\u0107. It was immortalized by Ivo Andri\u0107 in his novel The Bridge on the Drina, the work for which he received the Nobel Prize in Literature. Since 2014, visitors have also been able to explore Andri\u0107grad, a tourist complex conceived by film director Emir Kusturica and inspired by the works and characters of Ivo Andri\u0107. Built entirely of stone, the town is a blend of historical periods and architectural styles that shaped this region over time, including the Byzantine style, the Ottoman period, the Renaissance, and Classicism.<\/div><\/div><\/div>
