Ura e tabakëve (Tanners' bridge) --- Tiranë, Albania - Stone Bridges on Waymarking.com

This elegant Ottoman stone footbridge was once the main connection between Tirana and the highlands to the east. It was used to get agricultural produce and livestock across the Lana River to the markets, and sits in the area of skinners and leather workers. The Lana was rerouted in the 1930s and the bridge was neglected, eventually becoming a rubbish tip. It's now restored to its former glory and is used by pedestrians again. Watch out - slippery when wet.
