The bridge received its name because it connected the right bank of the Miljacka with the Catholic quarter of the city, which was informally called "Latinluk" ("place/domain of the Latins", loosely "Latin Quarter") in Ottoman times.

The census of the Sanjak of Bosnia from 1541 mentions the bridge on this spot, built by the leather-worker Hussein, son of Sirmerd.This first bridge seems to have been made of wood, because the court record from 1565 witness that the stone bridge was built here by eminent citizen of Sarajevo Ali Ajni-Beg.

[Sarajevo City Hall] Located on the banks of the Miriyats River in the city center. In front of the door is a square of Jiaotong University, we may have very few people in the whole square because of the early people who went. There is an empty Sarajevo steel ring in front of the city hall. But this day because the light can not see the letters, it is necessary to light the lights at night to clearly display the font appearance, become a landmark in Sarajevo. The river in front of the door is not wide, the river is very deep, but there is almost no water inside. There may be more water during the rainy season. It may be a bustling area in the city center. There is a stone arch bridge every five or six hundred meters on the river. There are at least six or seven stone arch bridges in sight. Along the river, there are three or four old buildings, there are often graffiti on the walls, and there are some old bullet holes. It seems that this is not a business district, and there are almost no shops nearby. But because it is very close to the Latin Bridge and the old town, it is also a must-check in for tourism.

The Neretva River is a flowing emerald code in the Balkan Peninsula - it cuts through the chest of the karst landform, and uses the millennium turbulence to polish out the arc of the Mostar Old Bridge. On the riverbed, the stone foundation of the Ottoman Empire and the shells of the war years are sleeping. When divers jump into the cracks of time, the green water becomes a canvas, dyeing the 400-year-old bridge shadow, the mottled bullet-hole walls on both sides, and the silhouette of the monastery on the cliff into a dynamic historical scroll. The river water not only hides the ingenuity of geological movement, but also surges with the alternating pulse of war and peace. Every ripple tells us: nature and civilization have always coexisted in each other's reflection.
