About Arslanagić Bridge (Perović Bridge)
Trebinje’s most celebrated Ottoman monument is a long, elegant run of stone arches over the Trebišnjica, raised in 1574 by Mehmed Pasha Sokolović. It takes its name from Arslan-aga, who arrived from Herceg Novi in the late 17th century and was charged with collecting the toll for crossing. When a hydropower reservoir flooded its first site in 1965, the bridge was moved upstream and rebuilt between the Gradina and Police districts. It sits about a kilometre from the centre, a pleasant walk along the river, and looks its finest in the soft light of evening.
