What Are People From Sarajevo Called?

About Sarajevo

Sarajevo is the capital and largest city of Bosnia and Herzegovina, set in a valley surrounded by the Dinaric Alps. The city is often called the 'Jerusalem of Europe' because its mosques, synagogues, and Catholic and Orthodox churches stand close together, reflecting a long tradition of religious diversity. Sarajevo is also remembered as the place where World War I began in 1914, when Archduke Franz Ferdinand was assassinated, an event that helped spark the conflict. During the Bosnian War from 1992 to 1996, the city endured the longest siege in modern warfare, and its recovery since then has been remarkable. Today its cultural life is rich, and its architecture blends Ottoman bazaars, Austro-Hungarian buildings, and Yugoslav-era landmarks. Visitors enjoy the historic Baščaršija old town, traditional coffeehouses, and the surrounding mountains, which hosted the 1984 Winter Olympics.
