Description

DMM A19 Ferry with ox-carts, crossing the Kir/Drin river at Bahçallëk near Shkodra. The old five-arched Ottoman bridge (Ura e Bahçëllëkut), of which there exists a photograph dating from 1863-1864, was constructed in 1768 by Mehmed Pasha Bushati and was destroyed by flooding in 1880. A new wooden bridge was built, using the remaining foundations, but it too was destroyed, no doubt in the Montenegrin siege of early 1913. Shortly after this picture was taken in 1914, the bridge was built again (Photo: Thomson). / Traget me qerre duke kaluar lumin Kir/Drin në Bahçallëk të Shkodrës. Ura e vjetër osmane me pesë qemerë (Ura e Bahçëllëkut), prej të cilës ekziston një fotografi e vitit 1863-1864, u ndërtua në vitin 1768 nga Mehmed pashë Bushati dhe u shkatërrua gjatë një përmbytje në vitin 1880. Pas kësaj u ndërtua një urë e re prej druri mbi themelet e mbetura, por edhe ajo u shkatërrua, me siguri gjatë rrethimit të Shkodrës nga malazezët në fillim të vitit 1913. Pak kohë pas

kësaj fotografie, 1914, u ndërtua edhe një urë (Foto: Thomson).
