The Perovica (Arslanagica) Bridge

The Arslanagica Bridge was built by Mehmed-pasa Sokolovic in 1574, during Turkish occupation. It has been his pious endowment to his son who was killed in fights with Venetians. When Turks were pushed out of Herceg Novi in 1687, many Turkish families from this town moved to Trebinje. Among them there was Arslan-aga. He got possessions in the east from Trebinje: on Zubci, Necvjece and Jasen, as well as the right to charge bridge-toll across the bridge on the Trebisnjica River. Since then, the bridge was named the Arslanagica Bridge after him. By building hydroelectric system on the Trebisnjica River, the bridge finished under water of storage lake in 1965. At the request of Institute for protection of monuments of culture, the bridge has been dismantled and moved down the river in 1966, when vacation of the accumulation took place. The new location of the Arslanagica Bridge has been between settlement Gradina (on the right shore of the river) and settlement Police (on the left shore).

Perovića (Arslanagića) most

Arslanagića most je kao zadužbinu za svog poginulog sina u borbi sa Mlečanima izgradio Mehmed-paša Sokolović 1574. godine, za vrijeme turske okupacije. Kada su Turci 1687. godine potisnuti iz Herceg Novog, mnoge turske porodice su se iz ovog grada doselile u Trebinje. Među njima je bio i izvjesni Arslan-aga. On je dobio posjede istočno od Trebinja: na Zupcima, Necvjeću i Jasenu, te pravo da naplaćuje mostarinu preko mosta na Trebišnjici. Po njemu se, od tada, most naziva Arslanagića most. Izgradnjom hidroenergetskog sistema na Trebišnjici Arslanagića most se našao 1965. godine pod vodom akumulacionog jezera. Po zahtjevu Zavoda za zaštitu spomenika kulture most je demontiran i prenesen nizvodno 1966. godine prilikom pražnjenja akumulacije. Nova lokacija Arslanagića mosta je između naselja Gradina (na desnoj obali rijeke) i naselja Police (na lijevoj obali). Od 1993. most se naziva i Perovića most.
