Some people say one example is Stari Most, an Ottoman built bridge, in Bosnia and Herzegovina that was destroyed in 1993 after standing for 427 years. "After the destruction of the Stari Most, a spokesman for the Croats admitted that they deliberately destroyed it, claiming that it was of strategic importance.[8] Academics have argued that the bridge held little strategic value and that its shelling was an example of deliberate cultural property destruction. Andras Riedlmayer terms the destruction an act of "killing memory", in which evidence of a shared cultural heritage and peaceful co-existence were deliberately destroyed.[7]" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stari_Most A replica was reconstructed and reopened in 2004. |
