ED003_RAI 400.13112 Albania. The now destroyed Ottoman bridge of Droja near Mamurras in Kurbin territory (Photo: Edith Durham, s.d.). “… the usual parapetless, steep, narrow Turkish bridge, whose bold elegance of design makes one pardon the fact that it can be used only by foot passengers, and is very inconvenient even for them. The majestic height of the middle arch raises it high above the wild floods of winter.” (Edith Durham, High Albania, 1909).
