Tanners' Bridge, located in Tirana, Albania, is an Ottoman-era stone footbridge that dates back to the 18th century. Originally part of the St. George Road, it facilitated trade and transportation, connecting the city with the eastern highlands. The bridge spans the Lana River and is constructed from neatly cut stones, showcasing traditional Ottoman architectural techniques. Although it no longer serves its original purpose due to urban development and changes in the river's course, Tanners' Bridge remains a significant historical landmark, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Tirana.
