Šeher-Ćehaja Bridge

Šeher Ćehaja Bridge (Bosnian, Croatian and Serbian: Šeher-Ćehajina ćuprija / Шехер-Ћехајина ћуприја) is a bridge which crosses the river Miljacka in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The only written document indicating the year of the erection of the bridge is a transcript of the chronogram in Mostar, indicating it was built in 994 AH (1585/1586 CE).

According to the source, the bridge was constructed by a man named "Alija known as Hafizadić".

[2] The Šeher Ćehaja Bridge has been damaged several times: during the floods of 1619 and 1629, as well as in 1843 when the Miljacka destroyed two pillars during repairs by Mustafa-paša.

The bridge is inscribed into the List of National Monuments of Bosnia and Herzegovina by KONS.
