Introduction to Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Sarajevo is the capital and largest city of Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), located in the heart of the Balkan Peninsula and surrounded by mountains. The city is known for its rich history and multiculturalism, and is known as the "Jerusalem of Europe" because of its long history of blending Islamic, Orthodox, Catholic and Jewish cultures.
History and cultural features
Sarajevo is remembered for the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand in 1914, which triggered the First World War. During the Ottoman period, it developed the ancient Old Town of Baščaršija, which retains its stone streets, mosques and traditional bazaars. After the war, the city underwent modernization during the Yugoslav period, but the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 1990s caused severe damage, and today it has been gradually rebuilt as a symbol of peace.
Tourism and Geography
Tourists can visit iconic sites such as the Latin Bridge and the Gez Husere Beg Mosque and experience the local coffee culture. Sarajevo has excellent winter sports facilities and hosted the 1984 Winter Olympics. The city's climate is continental with four distinct seasons, making it ideal for exploring both natural and human landscapes.
