Museum of Mitrovica
City Museum of Mitrovica offers a glimpse into the city’s rich cultural and industrial past. Housed in a former military building, the museum showcases archaeological finds, ethnographic artifacts, and exhibits on Mitrovica’s mining heritage and multiethnic history. It’s a small but insightful stop for understanding the city's complex identity.
Mitrovica Bridge, also known as the Ibar Bridge, is the most symbolic landmark of the city. Spanning the Ibar River, it connects the southern (Albanian-majority) and northern (Serbian-majority) parts of Mitrovica. While open to pedestrians, the bridge stands as a powerful reminder of Kosovo’s post-war division and ongoing efforts toward coexistence.
Isa Beg Mosque is the oldest mosque in Mitrovica, dating back to the 15th century. Built by Isa Beg Ishaković, the Ottoman governor who also founded cities like Skopje and Sarajevo, the mosque reflects classic Ottoman architectural style. Though small in size, it holds deep cultural and historical significance for the local Muslim community.
