Kovači Cemetery, War cemetery in Stari Grad, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
White marble gravestones cover the steep hillside of Kovači Cemetery, creating rows that extend throughout the grounds of this memorial site.
During the 1992-1996 siege of Sarajevo, numerous citizens lost their lives under daily grenade attacks, with many finding their final rest at Kovači Cemetery.
The cemetery serves as both a military burial ground and a place of remembrance, holding the remains of soldiers from the Army of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The cemetery remains accessible throughout the day, with guided tours available to explain the historical context of the graves and monuments.
The tomb of Alija Izetbegović, the first president of independent Bosnia and Herzegovina, features an illuminated dome that glows golden at night.
