About Sarajevo

Sarajevo is the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the most historically layered, most culturally complex and most emotionally resonant capital city in southeastern Europe -- a city of 420,000 inhabitants just 9km northeast of Sarajevo Airport in the Miljacka valley, whose extraordinary combination of Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian, Yugoslav and post-war identities gives it a depth of civilisational experience unmatched by any other Balkan capital. The Bascarsija (the most completely preserved Ottoman bazaar quarter in the Balkans outside Istanbul, the most atmospheric single urban space in Bosnia and Herzegovina, its cobblestone lanes and hans dating from the founding of the city in 1462 by Isa-beg Isakovic, the most iconic image of Sarajevo in the world, the Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque of 1531 -- the most important Ottoman mosque in the Balkans outside Turkey, the most magnificent single religious building in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the Sebilj fountain -- the most photographed single object in Sarajevo, the symbol of the city in every language) and the Latin Bridge (the most historically consequential single bridge in modern world history -- the bridge where Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated on 28 June 1914, the most directly causal single act that led to World War One, the most important 32-metre stretch of pavement in the history of the 20th century) give the city a heritage of world-historical significance rivalling any capital in Europe.

Sarajevo's most profound contemporary identity is shaped by the Siege of Sarajevo (1992-1996 -- the longest siege of a capital city in the history of modern warfare, 1,425 days, the most sustained urban military encirclement in the 20th century, a siege that became the most internationally reported humanitarian catastrophe in Europe since World War Two and the most powerful single symbol of the consequences of ethnic nationalism, the Tunnel of Hope -- the 800-metre tunnel dug under the airport runway that was the sole supply lifeline of the besieged city, the most visited single memorial site in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the most emotionally charged underground structure in European post-war memory) and the extraordinary religious coexistence (Sarajevo is the only city in Europe where a medieval Catholic cathedral, an Orthodox cathedral, the most important Ottoman mosque in the Balkans and a Sephardic synagogue stand within 500 metres of each other -- the most concentrated expression of multi-religious urban coexistence in European civilisation, earning Sarajevo the title of 'Jerusalem of Europe'). The 1984 Winter Olympics heritage (Sarajevo hosted the most celebrated Winter Olympics of the Cold War era, the games most fondly remembered for their warmth and organisation, the Bjelasnica and Jahorina slopes still carrying the most poignant Olympic legacy in the Balkans) gives the city a sporting and cultural identity of enduring international resonance.
