Despić House, Merchant house in Stari Grad, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The Despić House stands as a two-story structure with limestone walls and traditional architectural elements from both Bosnian and European styles.

Built in 1881, the residence belonged to a prominent Serbian trading family who operated successful fur businesses in the Veliki Ćurčiluk district.

The eastern wing contains a theater room where the first theatrical performances in Sarajevo took place, starting around 1870.

The Museum of Sarajevo maintains the house as an exhibition space, charging entrance fees of 3 KM for adults and 1 KM for children.

The house contains an original Viennese piano that belonged to Wilhemina Despić and displays the historical will of Hajji Makso Despić.
