 The name comes from Ottoman Turkish "(o)rospı(lı) köprü" 'bridge of whores' because the high-ranking Turkish officer's harem women suspected of disloyalty (marital or otherwise) were murdered on the banks of the river.Rospi Ćuprija is located on the western bank of the "Mirijevski potok" stream and the right bank of the Danube's arm of "Rukavac" which separates it from the former island (now a peninsula) of Ada Huja.It occupies the western section of the Field of Višnjica and borders the neighborhoods of Karaburma on the west ("Mirijevo Boulevard"), Ćalije on the south and Višnjička Banja on the east (the road of "Slanački put").
