Latin Bridge is a historic Ottoman bridge located over the Miljacka River in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is most famously known as the site of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife Sophie on June 28, 1914, an event that precipitated the onset of World War I. The bridge itself, originally constructed in the mid-16th century, is a significant cultural landmark, reflecting the architectural style of the Ottoman period.
