Kamara Bridge, Librazhd

The Kamara Bridge is one of the most important historical and architectural monuments in the Librazhd area, standing out for its unique characteristics and strategic position over the Shkumbin River. This bridge is located in the village of Mirakë in Librazhdi, in the district of Elbasan, and has a significant history and cultural value.

Built around the year 1600, the Ura e Kamara served as a key element in the ancient Egnatia road, being positioned at a strategic point at the fork of this road. This makes the bridge particularly important in the context of transport and trade links at the time of its construction.

Designed with architectural height, it is believed that the Kamara Bridge is the result of the work of the Albanian artist Kasem Imari. This Albanian engineer and architect has left his influence on many architectural projects at the time when Albania was under Ottoman rule.

The bridge itself contains architectural and decorative elements that give it a special appearance. Its strategic position, at a junction of the Egnatia road, shows its importance in the historical context and its role as a protective and connecting element on this important road.

Today, Kamara Bridge continues to be a point of local history and culture, attracting the attention of visitors and researchers who want to get to know the rich heritage of the area of Librazhd and Elbasan.
