The bridge, which is made primarily of white hreša (marble), is a harmonious structure with one main arch and two round openings which help support the weight.[1] This stone material is also used to build Bijela Tabija fortress and Visegrad Gate of the nearby Vratnik fortified town.

The oldest written record of this bridge was made by Mula Mustafa Bašeškija, who noted in 1771 that a stone wall was built from Kozija Ćuprija all the way to Alifakovac.
