![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Amazing Bascarsija Jul 08, 2008
One of my favourite places in sarajevo...
Located north of the Miljacka Riverside in the old town municipality Sarajevo Market place and historical cultural centre. Built sometime in the 16th century, the name Bascarsija is derived from Turkish meaning Market place/ bazzar.. Lovely little streets dedicated to various crafts, coppersmiths, silver smiths etc.. they even sell sarajevo roses, shells that were dropped during the war and turned into lovely little gifts!! quite quaint and unusual. You can see many things Gazi Husref Mosque, Clock tower, The Eternal flame, the National Library, which is now being restored, it was bombed during the Bosnian war and burnt for days,!! It is nice just to sit outside and drink traditional Turkish coffee and eat cevapcici, and people watch the day away.. Loved it.. |
