Mesi Bridge

"The Mesi Bridge, located near the city of Shkodër in Albania, is a historic stone bridge that spans the Kir River. Dating back to the 18th century, the Mesi Bridge is one of the oldest and most well-preserved Ottoman bridges in the country, serving as an important crossing point along the ancient trade routes that connected Shkodër with the rest of the region. Constructed with large stone blocks and featuring a single pointed arch, the Mesi Bridge is an architectural marvel that has stood the test of time. Its sturdy construction and graceful design are a testament to the craftsmanship of its builders and the engineering ingenuity of the Ottoman era."

"This 18th-century stone bridge is one of Albania’s most picturesque Ottoman structures. Stretching over the Kir River, it’s a peaceful site for photography and short strolls. "

"Take a rental bike from Shkodër and go on a little ride. The crystal clear water and the bridge is a perfect photo spot and a nice place for a picnic. Or even a dip. "
