Construction of Andrićgrad, also known as Kamengrad (Каменград, "Stonetown") started on 28 June 2011,[1] and was officially opened on 28 June 2014, on Vidovdan.[2] Andrićgrad is located several kilometers from Kusturica's first town, Drvengrad, in Serbia.

Overview

Andrićgrad is located near the Mehmed Paša Sokolović Bridge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and stretches from the bridge up to the confluence of the Rzav River.[3] After Drvengrad (English: Woodentown), this is the second village Kusturica created from scratch. Andrićgrad is to be used as a location for Kusturica's new film Na Drini ćuprija, based on the novel The Bridge on the Drina by Nobel Prize for Literature laureate Ivo Andrić.^{[citation needed]}
