Baščaršija, Ottoman bazaar district in Stari Grad, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The stone-paved streets of Baščaršija contain hundreds of small shops, traditional restaurants, and historical buildings with wooden facades and red-tiled roofs.
Founded in 1462 by Isa-Beg Ishaković as a trading center, Baščaršija grew from a single market into a network of 12,000 shops during the Ottoman period.
Each street in Baščaršija bears the name of a specific craft, reflecting the traditional trades such as copper smithing, leather working, and carpet weaving.
The district operates daily from morning until evening, with most shops and restaurants accepting both local currency and euros for payments.
The Sebilj wooden fountain, constructed in 1913, stands in the central square where local residents feed thousands of pigeons each day.
