The Tanners' Bridge is an 18th-century Ottoman stone footbridge in Tirana, Albania, standing 35 meters high. Built near the Tanners' Mosque, it once carried the Saint George Road across the Lanë stream in an area historically devoted to butchery and leather work, serving as a crucial conduit for livestock and produce entering the city from the eastern highlands. The bridge deteriorated after the Lanë was diverted in the 1930s, but was restored for pedestrian use in the 1990s. Now recognized as a Cultural Monument of Albania, it remains a tangible survivor of Ottoman-era infrastructure.
