Rebuilding Destroyed Cities

Mostar Today
The destruction of Stari Most was considered to be a tremendous cultural loss, and its rebuilding became a global cause. Organizations like UNESCO and the World Bank donated funding for the bridge's reconstruction. The new bridge, a direct copy of the original, was opened in 2004. In an effort not to lose the memory of the '93 bombings, stone plaques carved with the words "Never Forget" are embedded in walls and roads around the city. In the shadow of the new bridge, these words are a stark reminder of Bosnia's recent bloodshed.
