My vote goes to Khaju
by Rea on Tue Jul 27, 2010 03:39 AM PDTHave always loved old bridges.
Another bridge that could speak volumes, the Old bridge of Mostar, Bosnia.
Built in the 16th century, it gave its name to the town, "most" meaning bridge, hence the town of Mostar. It stood as a proud symbol of the cultural diversity and coexistence of 3 peoples until it was destroyed in 1993, during the war in the ex-Yugoslava. It was reconstructed and reopened in 2004.
Here is an old photo. //i16.servimg.com/u/f16/11/30/57/61/mostar10....
And here after the reconstruction. //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Stari_Most_Septe...
Let's keep the old bridges for they teach peace and history !
PS. Ari, like much better the bridges in the second ranking. And the 2 photos of Khaju do it more justice, indeed.
Top 10

by obama on Mon Jul 26, 2010 10:50 PM PDTof course, i am not surprised. what is missing here is the bridge connecting france to spain over gibralter! There are many steel suspenion bridges and reinforced concrete bridges that should have been here! Cannot vote on this one. That said Khaju is a beaitiful bridge.
