The river Ljuboviđa is crossed by the stone arch of the Rimski bridge (or Jerina's bridge, as it is still popularly called).
Encourages from the Roman period, and it got its present appearance in Turkish times. Its whiteness and elegance are a
perfect match into the wildness of the foaming waves of a swift mountain river and the harshness of the
sharp rocks that overlap the nearby hills.
Although the Romans built it with the intention of bridging the river that was once located at the intersection of roads
which led to the mineral wealth of that region, the bridge took its final form in the 16th century during the time
Ottoman rule. Made of travertine stone, connected with iron clamps, and instead of plaster
watered with liquid lead from a nearby mine - it resisted for centuries.
It is possible that the bridge was built in the middle of the 15th century, and the first
mention in written sources is in the 18th century.
Tucked away in unreal natural beauty just 12 kilometers from the center of Ljubovija, this old bridge represents
a true oasis for numerous travelers, and it was once the main thoroughfare of the Roman emperors.
In the early history, there were two bridges in this area, one was destroyed by the swollen river, while the other is still standing
resists the test of time. It was built and used by the Romans, for the needs of merchants to transport goods across
rivers to neighboring Bosnia, as well as ores from the mines where the famous Sokograd is now located. When the Romans settled
this area, it is today's Azbukovica, most of it aimed to connect Ljubovia with Bosnia, and later
continued to be a trade route during the reign of the Ottomans.
The bridge is 5.5 meters high, it is a real attraction for lovers of nature and cultural monuments, lovers of cycling
and good photos, which in this place turn out to be really unreal, as if you are in a fairy tale.
In untouched nature, and accessible only to determined travelers, the Roman bridge has resisted the tooth for centuries
time, but also the temper of timid Ljubovidja.
It is registered as an immovable asset of cultural importance in the register of the Institute for the Protection of Cultural Monuments
in 1982, and it was declared a cultural monument in 1983 as the Old Bridge on the Ljuboviđa River.
