Sarajevo, Capital city in Sarajevo Canton, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The city extends through a narrow valley at 518 meters altitude, surrounded by the Dinaric Alps mountains and crossed by the Miljacka River.

Founded in 1462 as an Ottoman stronghold, Sarajevo developed into a major trading center and witnessed the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914.

The Baščaršija district contains numerous religious buildings, including the 16th-century Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque, Orthodox and Catholic churches, and a synagogue.

The public transportation system includes an electric tram network that connects the main districts, while the international airport serves multiple European destinations.

The copper craftsmen maintain traditional metalworking techniques in Kazandžiluk street, producing decorative items using methods from the Ottoman period.
