Bosnian Cultural Center, Cultural center and former synagogue in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina
The Bosnian Cultural Center combines a theater venue and a historical synagogue structure at Branilaca Sarajeva 24 in central Sarajevo.
The building opened in 1931 as the Great Sephardic Temple, accommodating 2000 worshippers, until Nazi occupation led to its transformation after World War II.
The center presents theatrical productions, concerts, film screenings, and exhibitions that highlight both regional talent and international performers throughout the year.
The main auditorium contains 854 seats and features professional acoustics suitable for performances ranging from classical concerts to contemporary theater productions.
The building retains elements of its Moorish Revival architecture from 1930, including the stone menorah monument installed during the 1964 reconstruction.
