Svrzo's House, 18th-century Ottoman residential museum in Stari Grad, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Svrzo's House is a museum in an 18th-century residential building divided into several rooms with different functions, connected through courtyards and gardens. The rooms are arranged so visitors can discover multiple levels and areas as they move through the home.
The house was originally built for the Glođo family and later passed to the Svrzo family after the last male heir went into exile. This transfer reflects changes in families and property during the later Ottoman period.
The house displays how upper-class households managed daily life, with a clear separation between spaces for receiving visitors and areas for family living.
The house is located in the old city district and is easily reached on foot by walking through historic streets. A visit takes about one to two hours depending on how much time you spend exploring the details.
The house contains a hammam, a traditional steam bath that shows what comfort and luxury looked like in that era. Having such a facility was a special privilege for wealthy households.
