Tower Sahat-Kul is located in Herceg Novi at the entrance to the old town between the squares of Dzhurkovicha and Duke Stefan. By order of Turkish sultan Mahmud Clock Tower Sahat Kula was built in 1667. During the Turkish period there was a mosque on the square near the tower. Sahat Kul has on several sides mechanical clocks, which showed that it was time for daily Muslim prayers. In addition, the tower has served as the main gate of the town. The tower is not only a monument of architecture of Herceg Novi and its historical sights, but also the main heraldic symbol of the town. Its image is used on the flag of the town and all kinds of tourist trappings. The tower, which has become the most recognizable feature of Herceg Novi, has some other names: Tora, Sahat Kula or simply Clock Tower.

In 1753, the Russian Empress Catherine II made a gift to the citizens of Herceg Novi, bell-alarm appeared in the tower, which is preserved to this day.

There is a unique relief inside the Clock Tower that deserves special attention. This is an image of Our Lady under the title Black Madonna, made of old smoked wood. The author of this work is the sculptor Afran Hozich from Sarajevo. And the relief itself was established in memory of the founder of Herceg Novi Bosnian king Tvrtko I.

The old mechanical clock, which worked correctly all the time, were replaced with new electronic one in 1995. It was a gift to the people of Herceg Novi from the Serbian municipality of Zemun. In Sahat- Kula tower is still preserved an ancient archive of the town, where the oldest historical document dated by 1685 year.

The last timekeeper of Bosnia

Mensur Zlatar who has been setting the clock to the lunar calendar for the last 50 years is the last muwaqqit of Sarajevo's Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque.

MOSTAR - Bosnia & Herzegovina Travel Guide | Around The World

Mostar is a city and municipality in southern Bosnia and Herzegovina. Inhabited by 105,797 people, it is the most important city in the Herzegovina region, its cultural capital, and the center of the Herzegovina-Neretva Canton of the Federation. Mostar is situated on the Neretva River and is the fifth-largest city in the country. Mostar was named after the bridge keepers (mostari) who in the medieval times guarded the Stari Most (Old Bridge) over the Neretva. The Old Bridge, built by the Ottomans in the 16th century, is one of Bosnia and Herzegovina's most recognizable landmarks, and is considered one of the most exemplary pieces of Islamic architecture in the Balkans.

Mostar is an important tourist destination in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Mostar International Airport serves the city as well as the railway and bus stations which connect it to a number of national and international destinations. Mostar's old town is an important tourist destination with the Stari Most being its most recognizable feature.

Some noteworthy sites include Bishop’s Ordinariate building, the remains of an early Christian basilica at Cim, a hamam (Ottoman public bath), clock tower (sahat-kula), Synagogue (1889) and Jewish Memorial Cemetery, Nesuh-aga Vučjaković Mosque, Hadži-Kurt Mosque or Tabačica, Metropolitan's Palace (1908), Karagöz Bey Mosque (1557), Orthodox Church, Catholic Church and Franciscan Monastery, Ottoman Residences (16th–19th century), Crooked Bridge, Tara and Halebija Towers.

The World War II Partisan cemetery in Mostar, designed by the architect Bogdan Bogdanović, is another important symbol of the city. Its sacrosanct quality is derived from the unity of nature (water and greenery) with the architectural expression of the designer; the monument was inscribed on the list of National Monuments in 2006.

The Catholic pilgrimage site of Međugorje is also nearby as well as the Tekija Dervish Monastery in Blagaj, 13th-century town of Počitelj, Blagaj Fort (Stjepan-grad), Kravice Falls, seaside town of Neum, Roman villa rustica from the early fourth century Mogorjelo, Stolac with its stećak necropolis and the remains of an ancient Greek town of Daorson. Nearby sites also include the nature park called Hutovo Blato, archeological site Desilo, Lake Boračko as well as Vjetrenica cave, the largest and most important cave in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Mostar cuisine is balanced between Western and Eastern influences. Traditional Mostar food is closely related to Turkish, Middle Eastern and other Mediterranean cuisines. However, due to years of Austrian rule and influence, there are also many culinary influences from Central Europe. Some of the dishes include ćevapčići, burek, sarma, japrak, musaka, dolma, sujuk, sač, đuveč, and sataraš. Local desserts include baklava, hurmašice, sutlijaš, tulumbe, tufahije, and šampita.

Splendid Mostar - project of students

This promo video of Mostar was filmed and edited by students of Tourism Studies as a part of final English exam.

Mostar is situated on the Neretva river and is the fifth-largest city in the country. Mostar was named after the bridge keepers called mostari who, in the medieval times, guarded the Stari Most (Old Bridge) over the Neretva. The Old Bridge, built by the Ottomans in the 16th century, is one of Bosnia and Herzegovina's most recognizable landmarks, and is considered one of the most exemplary pieces of Islamic architecture in the Balkans. This refers to the existence of a wooden bridge from the market on the left bank of the river which was used by traders, soldiers, and other travelers.

Human settlements on the river Neretva, between the Hum Hill and the Velež Mountain, have existed since prehistory, as witnessed by discoveries of fortified enceintes and cemeteries. Evidence of Roman occupation was discovered beneath the present town. During this time it was also the seat of a kadiluk (district with a regional judge). Since Mostar was on the trade route between the Adriatic and the mineral-rich regions of central Bosnia, the settlement began to spread to the right bank of the river. In 1468 the region came under Ottoman rule and the urbanization of the settlement began. It was named Köprühisar, meaning fortress at the bridge, at the centre of which was a cluster of 15 houses. Following the unwritten oriental rule, the town was organized into two distinct areas: Kujundžiluk - the crafts and commercial centre of the settlement, and mahala or a residential area.

The stone bridge, the Old Bridge (Stari Most), was erected in 1566 on the orders of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent. 28 metres (92 feet) long and 20 metres (66 feet) high, quickly became a wonder in its own time. Later becoming the city's symbol, the Old Bridge is one of the most important structures of the Ottoman era and perhaps Bosnia's most recognizable architectural piece, and was designed by Mimar Hayruddin, a student and apprentice of the Ottoman architect Mimar Sinan. In the late 16th century, Köprühisar was one of the towns of the Sanjak of Herzegovina. The traveler Evliya Çelebi wrote in the 17th century that: the bridge is like a rainbow arch soaring up to the skies, extending from one cliff to the other.

I, a poor and miserable slave of Allah, have passed through 16 countries, but I have never seen such a high bridge. It is thrown from rock to rock as high as the sky.

Austria-Hungary took control over Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1878 and ruled the country until the aftermath of World War I in 1918, when it became part of the State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs and then Yugoslavia. During this period, Mostar was recognized as the unofficial capital of Herzegovina. The first church in the city of Mostar, a Serbian Orthodox Church, was built in 1834 during Ottoman rule. In 1881 the town became the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Mostar-Duvno.

Mostar has a number of various educational institutions. These include University of Mostar, Džemal Bijedić University of Mostar, UWC - United World College, nineteen high-schools and twenty four elementary schools. High-schools include sixteen vocational schools and three gymnasiums. One of the most popular sports in Mostar is football. The two most successful teams are HŠK Zrinjski and FK Velež. Another popular sport in Mostar is swimming. There are three swimming teams in Mostar and those are PK Velež, KVS Orka and APK Zrinjski. Best Bosnian swimmer Amina Kajtaz is from Mostar.

Mostar is an important tourist destination in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Mostar International Airport serves the city as well as the railway and bus stations which connect it to a number of national and international destinations. Mostar's old town is an important tourist destination with the Stari Most being its most recognizable feature.

Some noteworthy sites include Bishop’s Ordinariate building, the remains of an early Christian basilica at Cim, a hamam (Ottoman public bath), clock tower (sahat-kula), Synagogue (1889) and Jewish Memorial Cemetery, Nesuh-aga Vučjaković Mosque, Hadži-Kurt Mosque or Tabačica, Metropolitan's Palace (1908), Karagöz Bey Mosque (1557), Orthodox Church, Catholic Church and Franciscan Monastery, Ottoman Residences (16th–19th century), Crooked Bridge, Tara and Halebija Towers.

Benteng cantik Pocitelj di Bosnia Herzegovina

Pocitelj adalah objek wisata andalan Bosnia Herzegovina berada di tepi sungai Neretva. Spot ini berada pada M17 jalur utama wisata Mostar menuju Metkovic batas Bosnia Croatia.

Benteng berada paling tinggi menjulang dengan beberapa anak tangga dari beberapa arah. Kota dikelilingi tembok dan terdapat gate untuk memasukinya sebagai bagian dari sistem pertahanannya.

Di dalam tembok terdapat pemukiman lalu mesjid bernama Sisman Ibrahim Pasha lalu tidak jauh terdapat madrasah yang kini menjadi rumah tradisional. Selain benteng terdapat menara lain yang tinggi menjulang yakni sahat kula atau tower jam yang sudah tidak berfungsi serupa dengan yang di sarajevo

Mesjid pocitelj terawat rapi dan saya menyempatkan diri shalat didalamnya. Setelah shalat mulailah naik tangga ...lumayan tinggi dan mulai memasuki benteng. Ada 3 benteng di pocitelj yakni Pasina dan Pilavdzica serta benteng utama berbentuk bulat.

Benteng yng berbentuk bulat tabung adalah yang paling tinggi menjulang dengan anak tangga menaiki 3 lantainya. Dari lantai paling atas terdapat jendela yang berfungsi untuk mengawasi pergerakan musuh dari segala penjuru yang ingin memasuki kota

Tidak diketahui siapa pendiri benteng Pocitelj ini perkiraan tahun dibuat adalah 1383 dan bila menilik waktunya benteng ini masuk properti dari pangeran Stjefan kerajaan Bosnia. Namun dokumen asli mengenai keberadaan benteng ini ditemukan pada tahun 1444 dalam naskah kuno raja Alfonso V dari Aragon.

Baru pada abad 16 saat Turki Usmani berkuasa tempat ini menjadi atrategis dan di perkuat sebagai penahan gempuran dari bangsa Venesia kala itu.

Sayangnya setelah 1878 dikuasai Austro Hungaria tempat ini tdk terpelihara dan makin parah saat perang Bosnia. Dan pemerintah Bosnia saat ini terus berupaya mengembalikan kemegahan benteng ini kembali.

Pocitelj berada pada wilayah Capljina berada disisi sungai Neretva atau 30 km dari Mostar. Keberadaannya di jalur cepat dan tinggi menjulang berada di balik bukit membuat saya melewatinya tidak terlihat.

Rama lake, Bosnia and Herzegovina

The Rama lake is an artificial lake located in the upper Rama valley on the north of Herzegovina. It was formed in 1968.
The lake looks amazing when it is full with the depth of the water along the dam from 70 to 100 meters.
The island Šćit and also two smaller islands Umac and Škarine break up the uniformity of the water surface and beautify the ambience of the Rama Lake and its surroundings.
The temperature of the lake is around 7,5°C, but the surface quickly warms up for swimmers who are there when the lake is accessible and full.
Prozor and Ramsko Lake are the northernmost points in Herzegovina.
On the island Šćit, the House of Peace at the Franciscan monastery Rama-Scit welcomes guests who are looking for peace and quiet, a bit of counseling or just a day of fishing on the lake.
This place is run by the Franciscan monks who live there year round. In this monastery, the partisans prepared themselves for their counter-offensive in the Second World War's Battle of the Neretva. The area is lush and green and offers great fishing, boating, walking and hiking and an interesting look at village life in the surrounding hills. If you want peace and quiet, look no further - Ramsko Lake will meet your needs.
The local villagers are very kind and getting off into the hills you'll find fascinating Catholic villages where women still dress in traditional attire and practice the ancient ritual of tattooing crosses on their hands, arms and even foreheads.
Prozor to the east of Ramsko Lake is a small mountain town with not much more to do than walk around and check out life in a small town. Pass the Nuhefendica Mosque (Carsijska Mosgue), and you'll see the sahat kula (Clock Tower) from 1700. The clock did not have hands, so noon used to be signalled by striking bells. Just down the road from Prozor is the village of Duge, meaning Rainbow.

Počitelj from my lens - MHMaya

Pocitelj

This unique settlement, listed as a UNESCO heritage site and recent reconstruction has returned the town to its original form. It was first mentioned in 1444 but some documents show that it was built in the late 14th century upon the order of the Bosnian King Tvrtko. Besides its stunning oriental architecture and Ottoman feel, Pocitelj hosts the longest operating art colony in southeast Europe.

Artists from around the world gather here to paint, among other things but importantly, the shiny red pomegranates and figs that grow in abundance on the hills of Pocitelj.

The Hadzi-Alija Mosque has been reconstructed as well as the Sisman-Ibrahimpasina medresa and the Gavran Kapetanovic house, all of which are open to visitors. The most striking object in Pocitelj is the Sahat-kula, a silo-shaped fort that towers from the top of the hill above the town. It housed watchmen and military to guard against possible invasion from the Neretva Valley.

Inilah 5 mesjid tua dan cantik di Bosnia Herzegovina

Music video Barakallahu lakuma by Maher Zain

Mesjid Tua dan cantik di Bosnia Herzegovina

Pada masa perang Bosnia 1992-1995 sebanyak 1400 meamsjid menjadi sasaran pengrusakan dan sebagian di hancurkan. Pasca perang beberapa negara seperti Indonesia Malaysia Jordan Saudi dan sudah tentu Turki membangunkan mesjid baru bagi Bosnia.Turki membantu membangun kembali mesjid bersejarah diantaranya adalah Mesjid Farhat Pasha yang dibangun kembali tahun 2016 dan Mesjid Aladza di Foca tahun 2019.

1 Begova Mosque Sarajevo

Bosnia Herzegovina ada ratusan mesjid dan Mesjid Begova di Sarajevo ini mungkin bukan yang terindah namun kandungan sejarah yang dipatri dalam kurun hampir 5 abad yang lalu dan beberapa cerita dari pendirinya tidak habis untuk diceritakan.

Mesjid ini didirikan pada tahun 1530 oleh Ghazi Husrev Bey (1480-1541) sehingga nama mesjid ini juga disebut mesjid Husrev Bey. Bey yang melekat pada namanya adalah bahwa dia adalah seorang gubernur di sarajevo pada masa Turki Usmani.

Ghazi Husrev adalah anak seorang bangsawan Bosnia bernama Ferhat Bey dengan ibu bernama Seldzuka anak dari Sultan Beyezid II. Nama ibunya diabadikan menjadi nama madrasah.

Mesjid bermenara satu dengan disampingnya terdapat jam atau sahat kula dengan penunjuk jam berangka arab. Lalu dihalaman mesjid terdapat fountain yang selain untuk berwudhu adalah saluran air minum dari mata air pegunungan sekitar 7 km dari mesjid

Memasuki mesjid terasa kental ornamen turki dari hiasan di kubahnya lampu mihrab dan mimbar khotib bertingkat jendela dan halaman terdapat beberapa makam. Musoleum Ghazi Husrev juga berada di areal mesjid ini.

Sebagai gubernur dia dikenal sebagai pembaharu disamping mesjid dia mendirikan pula madrasah dan pustaka pada tahun 1537 atau 482 tahun yang lalu sebagai institusi pendidikan tertua di Bosnia Herzegovina

2. Mesjid Farhat Pasha di Banjaluka

Mesjid ini dibangun oleh Farhat Pasha pada tahun 1579. Arsiteknya tidak diketahui namun ba nyak yang meyakini adalah Minar Sinan yang terkenal dmyang banyak membangun jembatan dan mesjid kala itu.

Mesjid yang berada di ibukota Republik Srpska ini rusak saat perang Bosnia berlangsung. Renovasi berhasil menerapkan kembali 65% bangunan asli untuk menghadirkan kembali kemegahan mesjid ini dan diresmikan pada 7 mei 2016.

Spesifikasi bangunan adalah 18 x 14 dengan lantai mezanin, tinggi kubah 18 m dan menara 48 m. Masih ada jam tower atau sahat kula yang belum terbangun yang hancur tidak jauh dari mesjid. Didalam mesjid terdapat musoleum dari Farhat pasha dan fountain untuk berwudhu dan air minum.

3. Mesjid Sulejman Travnik

Bila ke Travnik jangan lewatkan 1 mesjid unik yang kaya warna berornamen. Mesjid ini bernama Sulaemanija atau Sarena Dzamija terletak ditengah keramaian cafe dan pasar di kota tua Travnik.

Mesjid ini awalnya di bangun oleh Ghazi Aga pada abad 16 pada masa kejayaan Turki Usmani, namun kemudian terlantar hingga 2 abad dan baru pada tahun 1815 Sulejman Pasha Skopljaj membangunnya kembali.

Bangunan terdiri dari 2 lantai terbuat dari kayu.
mesjid berornamen dengan warna yang berani termasuk warna pastel sehingga mesjid ini disebut mesjid berwarna. Di bagian bawah mesjid dipakai secara komersial untuk kepentingan wakaf berupa toko toko kerajinan dan diatas digunakan untuk ruang shalat.


4. Mesjid Karadoz Begova

Mesjid ini dibangun pada tahun 1557 dengan gaya arsitek bangunan yang khas di Mostar dimana beranda tidak terbuka, tapi di tutup dengan atap miring membuat teduh lalu ada fountain sekaligus untuk wudhu.

Spesifikasi mesjid adalah 13 × 13 m bangunan utamanya kubah 17 m dan menara 35 m di dalam mesjid ada ruang mezanin mihrab dan mimbar khotib.

Mesjid ini hancur pada perang dunia kedua dan lebih hancur lagi pada masa perang bosnia 1992-1995. Mesjid dibangun kembali tahun 2002 dan diresmikan kembali tahun 2004 dan ditetapkan sebagai monumen nasional karena nilai sejarahnya itu.

Disekitar mesjid terdapat bangunan madrasah masih ada namun sudah tidak digunakan, sebagai gantinya sudah dibuatkan gedung baru utk dapat memenuhi daya tampung siswanya yang terus bertambah. Bagi orang Bosnia lulusan madrasah tua seperti di Mostar Sarajevo dan Tuzla sangat membanggakan dan sekolah ini dibawah Komunitas Muslim langsung bukan Pemerintah.

5. Mesjid Aladza

Aladza, mesjid kaya warna ini dibangun pada tahun 1549, sebagai mesjid Bosnia pertama bermotif klasik Turki. Arsitek mesjid ini kerabat dekat Mimar Sinan, yang membangun jembatan Mostar.

Mesjid yang sarat nilai sejarah ini menjadi bangunan yang dilestarikan oleh Pemerintah Bosnia dan masuk UNESCO's list of world heritage.

Selama perang Bosnia (1992-1995) mesjid ini digempur hebat sehingga hancur rata dengan tanah pada 2 agustus 1992. Setelah lebih 25 tahun mesjid ini dibangun kembali dan diresmikan pada 2 mei 2019.

POČITELJ, the Pearl of Herzegovina 2018

The historic urban site of Počitelj is located on the left bank of the river Neretva, on the main Mostar to Metković road, to the south of Mostar, in the territory of Čapljina Municipality.

In the middle ages, Počitelj was the administrative centre and centre of governance of Dubrava župa (county), and its westernmost point, which gave it major strategic importance. It is supposed that the fortified town and its attendant settlements were built by Bosnia's King Stjepan Tvrtko I in 1383.

The walled town of Počitelj evolved over the period from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries. Architecturally, the surviving stone-built parts of the town are a fortified complex, in which two stages of evolution may be observed: mediaeval, and Ottoman.

The first documented reference to the town dates from 1444, in Charters issued by Kings Alfonso V and Friedrich III. During the period 1463-1471 the town held a Hungarian garrison. Following a brief siege in 1471, the town fell to the Ottomans, and was to remain within the Ottoman Empire until 1878. From 1782 to 1879 it was the centre of a kadiluk (area under the jurisdiction of a kadija or qadi - judge) and from 1713 to 1835 it was the headquarters of the Počitelj military district.

The significance and appearance of the town has altered during the course of its history. Three periods seem to be significant for the development of Počitelj:

1. The time of the Hungarian King Matthias Corvinus when the town had significant strategic importance (1463-1471),

2. The period of development of the settlement under the Ottoman Empire with the erection of typical public buildings: mosques, mekteb (Muslim primary school), imaret (charitable kitchen), medresa (Muslim high school), hamam, Turkish baths, han (inn) and sahat-kula (clock-tower) (1471-1698). During this period military conflicts occurred in more remote areas.

3. The period of recovery of its strategic importance after the Venetians conquered and destroyed Gabela (1698-1878).

With the establishment of Austro-Hungarian rule in BiH in 1878, Počitelj lost its strategic importance and began to deteriorate rapidly. The loss of the town's strategic role helped to safeguard the original urban architectural ensemble, so that the town has been preserved in its original form to this day.

During the 1992-96 war in BiH the entire historic urban site of Počitelj and all its various buildings suffered extensive war damage.

In 1996, Počitelj was named by World Monuments Watch as one of the world's 100 most endangered cultural heritage sites, as proposed by the University of York, United Kingdom, and the University of Sarajevo, in the light of its outstanding value.

In 2000 the Government of Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina started the Programme of the permanent protection of Počitelj that comprises of: protection of cultural heritage from further deterioration, rehabilitation of damaged and destroyed buildings, returns of the refugees and displaced persons to their homes and the sustainable and long-term protection and revitalization of the Historic urban area of Počitelj. The Programm is on-going and now it is in the stage of rehabilitation of housing complexes in the upper part of Počitelj.

BAŠ-ČARŠIJA - S A R A J E V O - OLD TOWN ( 1462 - 2014) EPP

HAN ISA-BEGA ISHAKOVIĆA
Baščaršija (pronounced [baʃ.tʃǎr.ʃi.ja]) is Sarajevo's old bazaar and the historical and cultural center of the city. Baščaršija was built in the 15th century when Isa-Beg Isaković founded the town. The word Baščaršija derives from the Turkish language. The word baš which is baş in Turkish literally means head, in some contexts however also primary, main, capital and čaršija which is çarşı in Turkish means bazaar or market. Due to the large fire in the 19th century, today Baščaršija is half the size that it once was.
Baščaršija is located on the north bank of the river Miljacka, in the municipality of Stari Grad. On Baščaršija there are several important historic buildings, such as the Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque and sahat-kula. Today Baščaršija is the major tourist attraction of Sarajevo.
Before the arrival of the Ottomans in the largest settlement on Sarajevo field was the village square Tornik, which was located at the crossroad of the roads where today is the Ali Pasha's Mosque. Baščaršija was built in 1462 when Isa-Beg Isaković built the Ishaković han, in addition to its many shops. At that time, most of the inhabitants of Sarajevo lived in the vicinity of the Emperor's Mosque. Therefore, Isa-Beg Isaković built a bridge across the Miljacka to focus the main Sarajevo suburb and a new economic center of the city, Baščaršija.
Around the main entrance, the Bazerdžani čaršija was formed. The čaršija Kazaz is situated to the west, and to the north sit both the čaršija Sedlar and Sarača. The most significant buildings constructed during this period are the mosques. Baščaršija's famous mosque was built by Havedža Durak in 1528, and Gazi Husrev-beg built his mosque in 1530.
Gazi Husrev-Beg raises a madrassa, a library, a haniqah, the Gazi Husrev-Beg Hamam, the Gazi Husrev-Beg bezistan, the Morića Han, sahat-kula and other tourist attractions in Baščaršija. Gazi Husrev-Beg was buried in the harem of his mosque, beside the harem is the Türbe of his freed slave and the first mutevelija of his vakuf Murat-beg Tardić.
At this time a number of commercial facilities was built, such as bezistans, hans, and caravanserais. Sarajevo was an important center of trade in the Balkans and had three bezistans (today the Gazi Husrev-Beg and Brusa bezistans are still standing). There were colonies of Venetian and Ragusan traders, and Baščaršija had approximately 12,000 commercial and craft shops. After the earthquake in 1640 and several fires in 1644 and 1656, Sarajevo was 1697 burned and devastated by the troops of Prince Eugene of Savoy. Travel writer Evliya Çelebi wrote: The čaršija has in everything, one thousand and eighty stores that are a model of beauty. The čaršija is very attractive and built according to plan.
The city of Sarajevo didn't еxpand significantly until the 19th century. With the Austro-Hungarian occupation in 1878, foreign architects wanted to re-build Sarajevo into a modern European city. A fire contributed to this process; it destroyed parts of the Stari Grad, and that is how the well-known boundary between Baščaršija and the street Ferhadija was made.
During the Anti-Serb riots of Sarajevo in June 1914, violent mobs looted and vandalized several Serb-owned shops in Baščaršija as well as other parts of the city.
With the liberation of Sarajevo in 1945 after the Second World War, a committee decided that the market should be gradually demolished, believing that it had no role in a modern city. However, the plans were cancelled, and the buildings were left standing.

SUMMARY
=======
Bosnia and Herzegovina ( ( listen) or ; abbreviated B&H; Bosnian and Serbian: Bosna i Hercegovina (BiH) / Боснa и Херцеговина (БиХ), Croatian: Bosna i Hercegovina (BiH), pronounced [bôsna i xěrtseɡoʋina]), sometimes called Bosnia–Herzegovina, and often known informally as Bosnia, is a country in Southeastern Europe in the Balkan Peninsula. Sarajevo is the capital and largest city.
Bosnia and Herzegovina is an almost landlocked country – it has a narrow coast at the Adriatic Sea, about 20 kilometres (12 miles) long surrounding the town of Neum. It is bordered by Croatia to the north, west and south, Serbia to the east, and Montenegro to the southeast. In the central and eastern interior of the country the geography is mountainous, in the northwest it is moderately hilly, and the northeast is predominantly flatland. The inland, Bosnia, is a geographically larger region and has a moderate continental climate, with hot summers and cold and snowy winters. The southern tip, Herzegovina, has a Mediterranean climate and plain topography.
Bosnia and Herzegovina traces permanent human settlement back to the Neolithic age, during and after which it was populated by several Illyrian and Celtic civilizations. Culturally, politically, and socially, the country has a rich history, having been first settled by the Slavic peoples that populate the area today from the 6th through to the 9th centuries. In the 12th century the Banate of Bosnia was established, which evolved into the Kingdom of Bosnia in the 14th century, after which it was annexed into the Ottoman Empire, under whose rule it remained from the mid-15th to the late 19th centuries. The Ottomans brought Islam to the region, and altered much of the cultural and social outlook of the country. This was followed by annexation into the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy, which lasted up until World War I. In the interwar period, Bosnia and Herzegovina was part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and after World War II, it was granted full republic status in the newly formed Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. Following the dissolution of Yugoslavia, the republic proclaimed independence in 1992, which was followed by the Bosnian War, lasting until late 1995.
The country is one of the most frequently visited countries in the region, projected to have the third highest tourism growth rate in the world until 2020.
