This bridge was built in the 18th century by Kara Mahmud Bushati, the local Ottoman pasha.
Mesi Bridge is an Ottoman-era bridge in the village of Mes, about 5 km northeast of Shkodër, in northwestern Albania. It is a monument of Postribë culture, turning the site into a tourist attraction with a lot of visitors from all around the world. For foreigners the architecture of the bridge is intriguing with round slick stones and stone plates. The surrounding panorama gives the bridge an even more picturesque view. The Albanian Development Fund invested 13 million ALL so the tourists could step on the bridge and watch it closely because there was no entry way to the bridge.

Kalaja e Drishtit
A ruined castle, above the modern village of Drisht—medieval Drivastum—in the municipal unit of Postribë, Shkodër County. The earliest traces of Drishte Castle's fortifications date to the late Neolithic era. The walls and towers date to 1396-1478 during the Venetian era. From the Drisht village, there are two ways uphill to the castle. A guide is available living at the village by the mosque for a fee.
