The Roman Bridge is located on the river Bosna, near Ilidža. Present-day on an abandoned road, just next to the main road leading to the Blažuj.

The Roman Bridge is one of four old stone bridges in the area of City, which are still preserved.

Three other bridges are, Šeher-Ćehaja Bridge, Latin Bridge and Goat's Bridge.

Bridge itself can be seen when driving down the main road from Blažuj to Ilidža. It is located just on the right side of the road. In the year 1530, across these landscapes has passed famous travel writer Benedict Kuripešić, and did not record anything about this bridge.

But some 20 year later, Katarin Zeno writes about this bridge, saying that it is a stone bridge with seven arches on the river Bosna, what meant that it was built after 1530 and before 1550. It is not known anything about a person who ordered the construction of the bridge, or who built it.

The bridge was rebuilt in the middle of 16th century and it is possible that it was rebuilt by the great vizier Rustem Pasha Hrvat, who also has built a bridge on Željeznica River. It is also mentioned that the rebuilder could be Gazi Ali-Pasha. The bridge was made of chisel stone and is designed as a low based construction on seven arches.

Arches are slightly lower at the end of the sides and grow toward the middle, so we have a distinctive, slightly convex shape of the bridge. The length is about 40 meters, and width 4.5 meters. There is an assumption that during the Roman rule in the same place was a bridge, and that present-day bridge is constructed on its foundations (still unproven).

What is proven is that when it was built, the materials used for this bridge were taken from antique ruins that lay nearby, so it is possible to see some interesting ancient reliefs bricked in the bridge.

It must be a reason why the bridge got the name, Roman Bridge.
