Respect Ponuda ENG Bosnia and herzegovina Bosnia-Herzegovina is a country on the Balkan Peninsula in southeastern Europe. Bordered by Croatia in the north, west and south, Serbia to the east, and Montenegro to the southeast, Bosnia and Herzegovina is almost landlocked, except 26 km (16 miles) of Adriatic Sea coastline. The interior of the country is mountainous centrally and to the south, hilly in the northwest, and flatland in the northeast. Inland is the larger geographic region with a moderate continental climate, marked by hot summers and cold, snowy winters. The southern tip of the country has a Mediterranean climate and plane topography. Almost a half of the area is under a forest. Sava is the largest river of the country and it forms its northern natural border with Croatia. Its structure is decentralized and divided into two entities: the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Republic of Srpska. The capital is Sarajevo and also the capital of the Federation of B&H and Banja Luka is the capital of the Republic of Srpska and the second largest city. Bosnia & Herzegovina is place that eastern and western civilizations met, sometimes clashed, but more often enriched and reinforced each other throughout its long and fascinating history. Perhaps what is most important for the visitor to know today, though, is that Bosnia and Herzegovina is a stunningly beautiful country with a vast array of landscapes, cultures, traditions and people. And as the old cliche goes 'people make the place' - and B&H prides itself on its hospitality and treating our guests as if they were family members. And family we take to heart. We offer Banja Luka, in cooperation with our partner travel agency, as starting point in unforgettable journey through Bosnia-Herzegovina.

KRALJEVA SUTJESKA Kraljeva Sutjeska and Bobovac are treasuring exceptional cultural-historical heritage and therefore are particularly interesting for historians, architects, archeologists, writers and especially tourists. Famous Franciscan monastery of Kraljeva Sutjeska is considered the oldest institution of Bosnia and Herzegovina, while one of the oldest mosques in Bosnia and Herzegovina, built in 15th century by Sultan Mehmed II el-Fatih., is situated at the entrance of the village. There is also the oldest house in the central Bosnia, an example of authentic Bosnian architecture and lifestyle. It was built in the early 18th century, carefully maintained up to nowadays and opened for visits. The last Bosnian queen, Saint Katarina, is mourned even today by the local townswomen who still wear black scarves as part of the traditional dress. When the Ottomans conquered the fortress at Bobovac, Queen Katarina either fled or was exiled to Rome, never to return to Bosnia. It was reported that her children were taken to Istanbul, where her son converted to Islam and became a major figure in the Ottoman empire. VISOKO Visoko is named after the Visoki Castle and the town of Visoki, which occupied Visočica hill, Podvisoki, Mile (today's Arnautovići), Biskupići and Moštre — together known as Visoko valley. Visoki and other historical places in the Visoko valley were the early center of the once powerful medieval Bosnian kingdom. PYRAMIDS The Bosnian Pyramid, Visočica Hill, is the first European pyramid to be discovered and is located in the heart of Bosnia, near the town of Visoko. The pyramid has all the elements: four perfectly shaped slopes pointing toward the cardinal points, a flat top and an entrance complex. On top of the pyramid are also the ruins of a Medieval walled town, once the base of a Bosnian king Tvrtko Kotromanić (1338-1391). Because of its similarities to the Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacan, Mexico, it has been named the “Bosnian Pyramid of the Sun” (Bosanska Piramida Sunca). There are also a four more ancient structures on the site, the Bosnian Pyramid of the Moon (Bosanska Piramida Mjeseca), Bosnian Pyramid of the Dragon (Bosanska Piramida Zmaja), Bosnian Pyramid of the Love (Bosanska Piramida Ljubavi) and Temple of the Earth, (Hram Zemlje).'We have already dug out stone blocks which I believe are covering the pyramid', said Semir (Sam) Osmanagic, a Bosnian American archaeologist who has spent the last 15 years studying the pyramids of Latin America. 'We found a paved entrance plateau and discovered underground tunnels'..... SARAJEVO Sarajevo is the capital and largest city of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

  • Sarajevo Cookbook
    SARAJEVO COOKBOOK Sarajevo is the capital city of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is its administrative, economic, cultural and educational center. The city center of Sarajevo is a unit of local self-governance, which consists of four municipalities: Old City, Center, New City and New Sarajevo. Sarajevo is the place where the East meets the West. The city is famous for its traditional religious diversity, with adherents of Islam, Orthodoxy, Catholicism and Judaism coexisting there for centuries. Due to its long and rich history of religious and cultural variety, Sarajevo is often called "Jerusalem of Europe". Nestled within the greater Sarajevo valley, it is surrounded by the Dinaric Alps and situated along the Miljacka River in the heart of Southeastern Europe and the Balkans. Because of its geographical position, Sarajevo was chosen to host the 1984 Winter Olympic Games. Though settled from the prehistoric times, the modern city arose as an Ottoman stronghold in the 15th century. Bosnia and Herzegovina was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire from 1878 until 1914, when the assassination of the Archduke in Sarajevo sparked the World War I. Sarajevo was also the first city in Europe and the second city in the world to have a full-time operational electric tram network running through the city, the first being San Francisco. The modern history of the city is no less interesting and turbulent, so everybody is invited to take a walk through Sarajevo’s streets and capture the atmosphere of this fascinating town. Sarajevo has mild continental climate. It is located in Central European Time Zone (GMT +1).

  • Top Things to Do in Sarajevo
    "Top Things To Do in Sarajevo" Thanks to a breathtaking collection of churches, mosques and synagogues, Sarajevo rightfully earned the title of "Jerusalem of the Balkans". Historic beauty aside, the city also houses several parks and its ropeway ride is an unmissable experience. Criado por : Cityseeker 10 Localizações indicadas Latin Bridge "Where It All Began!" Latin Bridge is one of the oldest and best-conserved bridges in Sarajevo. It garnered international attention when Gavrilo Princip assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in the year 1914. The event was one of the catalysts for World War I and led to important events spanning the entire 20th Century. While the Ottoman bridge's age might be up for by Tumi-1983 debate, it was first mentioned in a census in the year 1541. Built from gypsum and stone, it rests on three pillars that float over the River Miljacka. Though it might not be as impressive to look at when compared to other bridges around the world, the rich history of this site from 16th- century onwards; especially its role in World War I, is enough to draw thousands of visitors every year. +387 33 25 2000 (Tourist Information) Obala Kulina Bana, Bistrik, Sarajevo Baščaršija "Hub of Bosnian Crafts" Baščaršija is a marketplace, which is also a popular historical and cultural hub of Sarajevo.

  • (In)Visible Traces: the Presence of the Recent Past in the Urban Landscape of Sarajevo
    Рецензії. Огляди. Хроніка Natalia Otrishchenko Candidate of sociological sciences (PhD) Research fellow at the Center for Urban History of East Central Europe, L’viv (IN)VISIBLE TRACES: THE PRESENCE OF THE RECENT PAST IN THE URBAN LANDSCAPE OF SARAJEVO The author reflects on her observations during the summer school ‘History Takes Place – Dynamics of Urban Change.’ She discusses number of loca- tions, which embodied or recalled the memories of war and siege of the city, both those that remained from 1992-95 and those newly created. Based on the concept of the production of space, article outlines the specifics of inter- ventions into urban landscape with either monuments or alternative forms of commemoration. Key words: memory, monument, Sarajevo, siege, urban space. But we do not decide what to forget and what to remember. Ozren Kebo, Sarajevo for Beginners Sarajevo is a pure life. Kateryna Kalytko, Introduction to Sarajevo for Beginners Sarajevo: Briefly about the Context he gunshots near the Latin Bridge on 28 June 1914 started the Great War, and the shots on the Vrbanja Bridge on 5 April 1992 Tinaugurated the list of victims of the Siege of Sarajevo. The ‘short’ twentieth century started and finished on different bridges in the same city. Hence, war created one of the frames through which the history of Sarajevo might be perceived. Military conflicts over the last hundred years transformed both the social and material, as well as the symbolic, structures of the city and left a number of traces in its urban landscape. Fran Tonkiss states that there are cities overwhelmed with history, and Sarajevo is among them.

Abstract Cultural and historical heritage, as well as rich history, very often represents a very important segment of tourism development in a certain city. Tourists are very inclined to the old town centers, which generally have many attractions of this type, and usu- ally they are located in the immediate vicinity. Baščaršija is also an example of the old city area, which earlier was intended for commercial purposes only. Nowadays Baščaršija represents the most attractive part of the City of Sarajevo and its cultural features are a real attraction for many tourists. This paper focuses on the evaluation of the cultural - historical heritage within Baščaršija applying the method of tourist valorization of cultural resources by Hilary du Cross.

  • Architecture of Consumption. Case Study Sarajevo
    KONSUMPCJA I ROZWÓJ 2014;3(8):73-86 73 TIJANA TUFEK-MEMIŠEVIĆ International University of Sarajevo Architecture of Consumption. Case Study Sarajevo Introduction Present Sarajevo is experiencing embodiments of post-socialist and post-war tran- sitions to a neo-liberal policy which advocates free-market economy, privatisation and foreign capital inflows. A major representative of these embodiments is retail centres whose number has significantly increased during the past decade (Nurković, 2012). Some of these structures have drawn attention with their attractiveness, appeal, and dominance leading to much ink being spilled in the press about the controversy of these new developments. Yet the justification of a shopping mall construction boom in the city of 291,422 people (Census, 2013) and the highest country unemployment rate in Europe of 43.5% (Trading Economics, 2014), is argued in this paper with the special focus on three major retail agglomerations in the city centre: BBI centre, the ICSC European Shopping Centre Awards winner 2011 (Photo 1), Al Shiddi Sarajevo City Centre (Photo 2) and ALTA shopping centre (Photo 3). These retail and business centres were built over the course of last four years and occupy an area of 116,500 m2 in total. In the context of malls and market-places R. Shields states that “Every ep- och has its cathedrals, monuments to the era that come to signify or embody the cultural Weltanschauung” (Shields, 1992). Whether or not we perceive them as spatial representatives of the ideology of contemporary capitalism, it is to be considered how this rapid construction boom challenges sustainability and the long-term use potential (Zagora, Samic, 2014).
