Like much of the rest of Mostar, the Stari Most has been rebuilt with UNESCO support using local stone and skills. But until quite recently, the whole town, including this bridge, was more rubble than building.

On the evening train to Mostar my girlfriend and I talked with a local man who shared our compartment. As we plunged in and out of increasingly long, unlit tunnels, our conversation turned to the war of 1992-95, and the damage it has caused the country and its people.

'The ruined houses we see now and then from our window', he said, 'were once everywhere. The war touched everyone, there was no escaping it. Now, you can visit Sarajevo or Mostar and they look great . . . but not so long ago they were mostly still ruins.'

This photograph cuts off the Stari Most roughly where it was reduced to a stump after shelling.
