The Kožetin Bridge, also known as the Roman Bridge, is located in the village of Kožetin, near Ustikolina, at the confluence of the Gabeoski stream and the Drina River, in the Foča municipality, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The road on which the bridge was built is estimated to be around 2,000 years old. The terrain and the path’s layout suggest that a bridge could have existed here since Roman times. Locals still refer to it as the Roman Bridge. However, archaeologists date the current bridge to the late medieval period, before the arrival of the Ottomans.
Constructed on steep terrain, the bridge is about 10 meters long and built from irregularly shaped stone blocks. Its semicircular arch, made of roughly hewn limestone pieces, spans 5.5 meters. The bridge is 3.3 meters wide, with a height of 5.8 meters above the stream bed and 4 meters on the riverbanks. The arch thickness is 50 cm, with no decorative elements or inscriptions. The construction technique shows secondary stonework with a row of stones protruding about 10 cm over the front wall. There are no railings or elements to indicate previous reconstructions. The bridge remains well-preserved in its original form.
In 2005, the Commission for the Preservation of National Monuments of Bosnia and Herzegovina declared the Kožetin Bridge a national monument.
