The Stone Bridge (Albanian: Ura e Vjetër e Gurit - Ura me Nëntë Harqe) or Vojinović Bridge (Serbian: Vojinovića most, Serbian Cyrillic: Војиновића мост) is a medieval bridge located in Vushtrri, Kosovo. It dates from the end of the 14th or early 15th century, and, according to popular legend, was built by the brothers Vojinović, mentioned in Serbian epic poetry as nephews of Tsar Dušan (King 1331 - 1346, tsar 1346 - 1355). It carried over the Sitnica river the trade route between Dubrovnik and Skopje and neighbouring parts of the Balkan Peninsula.
