Stone Bridge
Konjic
The old town is quite nice to stroll through.
The center of town is rather pleasant too, with stunning views in
every direction. The main street is often closed to vehicle
traffic and is filled with the young and old walking,
hanging out in café's or selling their wares along the
riverside markets. People in Konjic are very easy going
and friendly so feel free to ask someone for directions
or to engage in some small talk. One of the not-tobe-missed
attractions is certainly Kamena cuprija (Stone Bridge) built
in 1682. It was destroyed during World War II, but was rebuilt
in 2009. Since the early 1900s, Konjic has come to be known for its
woodcarvers. The craft developed a commercial dimension
during the Austro-Hungarian occupation in the
early 20th century. Before World War II Konjic had a couple
of dozen woodcarving businesses, who sold
their elaborately-carved heirloom furniture and boxes within
the Austro- Hungarian empire and beyond.
