Feel the Heart of Sarajevo - City Tour | Old Town - Baščaršija

We start our tour at the Meeting Point: The Eternal flame is a memorial to the military and civilian victims of the Second World War in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The memorial was dedicated on 6 April 1946, the first anniversary of the liberation of Sarajevo from the four-year-long occupation by Nazi Germany and the fascist Independent State of Croatia. The memorial was designed by architect Juraj Neidhardt and is located in the former Landesbank building at the center of Sarajevo at the junction of Mula Mustafa Bašeskije, Titova and Ferhadija streets.

Taslihan

Taslihan or Tašli han is a former caravanserai that was located on the site of the current summer garden and an open bar of the Evropa hotel in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is the third stone caravanserai in Sarajevo, built in the period from 1540 to 1543, as an endowment of Gazi Husrev-beg, after his death. It was added to Gazi Husrev-beg's bezistan on its western side. It was square in shape, and its length was 47 meters. It had a fountain in its yard, on the pillars of which was a small mosque. Upstairs were the passenger rooms. Domestic and foreign merchants had their shops within Tašlihan. It is believed that this caravanserai served for trade more than for passenger traffic. The fire of 1879 severely damaged Taslihan and made it unusable.

Latin Bridge

The Latin Bridge is notable for that infamous moment in history. Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife were assassinated at the northern end of the bridge in 1914. This event is widely known as the catalyst of a conflict that would lead to World War I. There is now a plaque that shows the location of the assassination.
