UNITIC Twin Skyscrapers, Two commercial towers in Centar Municipality, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The UNITIC Twin Skyscrapers are two 25-storey office towers, each 97 metres tall, in the Marijin dvor area of Sarajevo's Centar municipality. Their concrete structure is wrapped in a facade of heat-reflective glass, and the identical pair stands side by side as a single office complex.
The twin towers opened in 1986, designed by architect Ivan Štraus. During the 1990s war they were shelled from JNA and then Republika Srpska positions; a large fire destroyed everything except the concrete structure because the rooftop water tank had been emptied to supply local residents. Renovation cost 45 million convertible marks.
The towers show Sarajevo's modern architectural language through their symmetrical design and shape the city's skyline with clean, functional forms.
The towers are located on Fra Anđela Zvizdovića Street and are easily accessible by public transportation. You can explore the area on foot since many other facilities are nearby.
The two towers form part of a larger complex and represent one of the largest office development projects in the city center. Their symmetry and identical size make them a recognizable landmark of the modern skyline.
