Vila Mandić, Austro-Hungarian villa in Petrakijina Street, Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina

Vila Mandić is an eclectic-style villa on Petrakijina Street in Sarajevo, completed in 1903 to a design by Czech architect Karel Pařík. Its façade has columns and a tympanum, a monumental entrance, and windows with shambles (decorative surrounds).

Vila Mandić was completed in 1903 for the politician and lawyer Nikola Mandić, to a design by Czech architect Karel Pařík. In 1945 it was nationalized and used for several years as the consulate of the United States, then became the seat of the municipal committee of the Union of Communists of Sarajevo. From 1984 it housed the Olympic museum, whose staff moved much of the collection to the cellars of the Zetra hall in April 1992.

The villa demonstrates the integration of European architectural styles into Sarajevo's urban landscape during the Austro-Hungarian administration period.

The building sits near the Music Academy and is part of a protected complex of other period residences from the same era. The location offers a chance to explore well-maintained early 1900s architecture in this neighborhood.

In April 1992, as one of the first buildings shelled during the siege, museum staff moved a large part of the exhibits into the cellars of the Zetra sports hall. The Olympic Museum has been housed in that hall since 2004, not in the villa.
