Baščaršija

Vibrant Baščaršija is Sarajevo’s medieval bazaar area, home to places of worship including the 16th-century Ottoman-style Gazi Husrev-Beg’s Mosque and the Old Orthodox Church, with rare manuscripts and icons. The 1551 Brusa Bezistan building, which once housed a silk market, is now a history museum, and grand Sarajevo City Hall hosts cultural events. Tea houses, cafes, and simple Bosnian eateries line narrow streets.
