  • Jewish Cemetery Sarajevo
    During the conflict, the cemetery was among the many front lines utilized to maintain the brutal siege of the city. Bosnian Serb Army snipers used its strategic position, overlooking much of the city “to shoot at civilians in the city.” Many of the beautiful tombstones, unique in both Sarajevo and Europe, were damaged by the fighting, their elegant structures compromised by three years of heavy shelling and indiscriminate shooting.
  • The Yellow Fortress
    The Yellow Fortress is one of the fortifications that made up the defensive wall around the city. Today, it offers a fantastic view of the city and is one of Sarajevo’s most popular vantage points.
