The Fshajt Bridge, also known as the Sacred Bridge, is an 18th-century stone arch structure spanning the White Drin Canyon in western Kosovo near the village of Fshaj, between Gjakova and Prizren. Built in the Ottoman architectural tradition, the bridge measures 22 meters high, 7 meters wide, and approximately 70 meters long, featuring a single graceful arch. The structure has been designated a cultural heritage monument of Kosovo and, along with the surrounding canyon, has been legally protected since 1986.
