Montenegro 🇲🇪, Djurdjevic Bridge

The Djurdjevic Bridge is not just big, but the largest automobile concrete arch bridge in Europe at the time of its construction, that is, in 1940. The total height is 172 meters, the length is 365 meters.

At that time Montenegro was part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, and it was a major European power. So the big bridge was both affordable for her and in terms of status. But Yugoslavia broke up into several independent states, and now little Montenegro has such a big bridge.

It is a rare case when the bridge is not named after some historical figure or its creator. Djurdjevic was just a rich peasant, and his farm was the closest to the place where the majestic bridge now flaunts. It has nothing to do with construction.
