Building of the Parliamentary Assembly of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Legislative building in Centar Municipality, Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina
The Parliamentary Assembly Building in Sarajevo is a four-story concrete structure spanning 107 meters in length and serving as the seat of the national parliament. Inside, multiple halls provide spaces for legislative sessions and debates conducted by the two houses.
The building emerged from a 1954 competition but construction did not begin until 1978, with completion in 1982. War damage in the 1990s required extensive restoration work that continued over more than a decade.
The building displays the architectural language of late Yugoslav modernism through its geometric forms and concrete construction. This design approach reflects how state institutions were envisioned during that era of centralized governance.
The building sits in central Sarajevo within walking distance of the city center. Access may be limited when parliamentary sessions are in progress, so plan accordingly.
The building's various halls reopened in phases after the war, with the final hall completed in 2008. This gradual reopening reflects how the country's institutions were progressively restored to full operation.
