Most je prvobitno sagrađen tokom osmanske vlasti u 16. stoljeću, uništen u sukobu 1993. godine, a kasnije je rekonstruiran i ponovno izgrađen od sredstava Svjetske banke, UNESCO-a, Kulturne zaklade Aga Khan i Svjetskog spomeničkog fonda.
The bridge was originally built during the 16th century Ottoman rule, destroyed in the 1993 conflict, and was later overhauled and rebuilt with funding from the World Bank, UNESCO, the Aga Khan Trust for Culture and the World Monuments Fund.
