Hotel Central is a historic hotel located in the center of the Bosnian capital, Sarajevo. It stands at the corner of Zelenih Beretki and Ćumurija streets. It was built in the 1880s, as part of the development of the Bosnian capital during Austro-Hungarian rule. The building was designed by Croatian architect Josip Vancaš. Unlike many other buildings constructed at that time in the emerging modern center of Sarajevo—buildings that referenced the architecture of Vienna and other cities of the monarchy, Vancaš drew inspiration from Oriental architecture, particularly Islamic design. For the two-story corner building, he designed windows in shapes typical of the Middle East with oriental motifs and horseshoe arches on the first floor. He emphasized the corner of the building with a first-floor balcony and a dome. The hotel was completed in 1889 and became the second hotel in the city, following Hotel Europe. The name Central was chosen because, at the time, Franz Joseph Street - today known as Zelenih beretki - served as the city’s main promenade. The hotel was completed in 1889 based on a design by architect Josip Vancaš and was financed by the city’s waqf (Islamic endowment). The building has three floors. Given its location on one of the most prominent sites in the city center, the Waqf Commission decided to lease out the entire building under the condition that a café would be established on the ground floor. The site where the hotel now stands was originally occupied by the Ajas Pasha Mosque, which was destroyed in 1697 when Eugene of Savoy set fire to Sarajevo. Although the mosque was rebuilt shortly thereafter, it was once again destroyed in a major fire that broke out in the Latinluk district in 1879. Following this second destruction, the mosque was not rebuilt. Instead, the waqf (Islamic endowment) decided to finance the construction of a hotel on the same site, which became known as Ajas Pasha’s Court (Ajas-pašin dvor). During the war in the 1990s, the hotel was largely destroyed and later completely reconstructed. During the restoration, only the outer walls were preserved, and the interior of the building was entirely rebuilt. The renovation of the façade aimed primarily to preserve the original architectural design of the decorative elements. The reconstruction was completed in 2008. The hotel is owned and managed by the Irish company Templeville Developments Ltd. and includes the Westwood Club & Spa within its facilities.

Hotel Europe (originally known as Hotel Evropa) is a historic hotel in central Sarajevo. Built in the early days of the forty-year Austro-Hungarian occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the hotel holds a special place in the city's lore as its first modern hospitality venue. Over its almost century and a half long existence, the hotel saw many changes often brought upon by sudden geopolitical events, reflecting the city's turbulent political and social history. For sixty years, from its grand opening in 1882 until World War II, Hotel Evropa was owned and run by the Jeftanović family, father and son Gliša and Dušan, respectively, Serb merchants and industrialists from Sarajevo. During the communist period in Yugoslavia from 1945 until 1990, the hotel was nationalized and run by various state-owned entities such as HTP Evropa. After the Bosnian War, the property has been re-privatized in 2006 by the Sandžak-born Bosniak businessman Rasim Bajrović who re-opened the venue in 2008, this time under the modified name Hotel Europe.

The Ćumurija Bridge in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina carries vehicular and pedestrian traffic over the River Miljacka. It was constructed in 1886. The first bridge was built of wood in 1565, during the time of the Ottoman Empire, and connected two mosques on either side of the river. The name Ćumurija derives from ćumur, meaning charcoal, which at one time was thrown from the bridge into the river.

Despić House (Serbo-Croatian: Despića kuća, Деспића кућа) is an old merchant house in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina that was established in 1881 by one of the wealthiest and most prominent Serb families in Sarajevo. It is a branch of the Museum of Sarajevo.

Ferhadija Mosque (Bosnian: Ferhat-pašina džamija, Turkish: Ferhad Paşa Camii), also known as Ferhat Pasha Mosque, is a central building in the city of Sarajevo built by Bosnian Sanjak-bey (governor) Ferhad-beg Vuković, a descendant of the famous mediaeval Vuković family. This mosque has one dome above the prayer area and three small domes at the cloister and is one of the greatest achievements of Bosnia and Herzegovina’s 16th century Ottoman and Islamic architecture. The Ferhadija mosque reflects the full maturity of the classical Ottoman style-domed mosque, portico with small domes, and beautiful built-on minaret. Research works on the painted decoration inside the mosque carried out in 1964–1965 revealed five painted layers dating from various periods. The oldest and extremely valuable decorations of the first layer date from the 16th century (in the dome, on the cornice and pendentives, the base of the corner calottes, the mihrab and the lunettes of the lower row of windows), belonging to the group known as Rumi ornament, which were also to be seen in the Aladža Mosque in Foča. The next layers (on the calottes, central part of the mihrab, and surface of the dome) consists of purely floral decorations with the features of 18th-century style. The third and fourth layers date from the late 19th century (1878), and the first quarter of the 20th. The mosque was damaged during the Bosnian War in 1992–1995.

Tašlihan or Tašli han (transl. stone inn) is a former caravanserai that was located on the site of the current summer garden and an open bar of the Hotel Evropa in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is the third stone caravanserai in Sarajevo, built in the period from 1540 to 1543, as an endowment of Gazi Husrev-beg, after his death. It was added to Gazi Husrev-beg's bezistan on its western side. It was square in shape, and its length was 47 meters. It had a fountain in its yard, on the pillars of which was a small mosque. Upstairs were the passenger rooms. Domestic and foreign merchants had their shops within Tašlihan. It is believed that this caravanserai served for trade more than for passenger traffic. The fire of 1879 severely damaged Taslihan and made it unusable.

Gazi Husrev-beg's bezistan is one of the preserved bezistan in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, from the Ottoman period in the history of the country. Built in 1555 in Baščaršija, bezistan still serves its purpose - trade.

The Cathedral Church of the Nativity of the Theotokos (Serbian: Саборна Црква Рођења Пресвете Богородице, romanized: Saborna Crkva Rođenja Presvete Bogorodice) is the largest Serbian Orthodox church in Sarajevo and one of the largest in the Balkans. The cathedral is designated National Monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina by the KONS. The cathedral is dedicated to the nativity of the Theotokos. It was erected at the request of the Orthodox parish of Sarajevo, with construction taking place between 1863 and 1868. The church is constructed as a three-section basilica inscribed in a cross-shaped plan, and has five domes. The domes are built on the beams; the central one is much larger than the other four side domes. The church is arched by round elements. The small gilded baroque-style belfry is built in front of the entrance. The interior walls are decorated by painted ornaments. In the lower zones of the walls the painted ornaments are simulating the marble stone construction look. Arches and vaults are decorated in ornaments only. In 1898, the Orthodox Metropolitan Palace was built near the cathedral. The head master for construction was Andreja Damjanov, a man from the Damjanovi-Renzovski family of master builders, masons, painters, carpenters, and stonecutters from the village of Papradište, near Veles.

The Sarajevo bread line massacre refers to the artillery attack on Sarajevo on 27 May 1992, suspected to have been carried out by the Army of Republika Srpska. Three grenades were fired from the position in the direction of Borije, which exploded among civilians who were waiting in line for bread on Sarajevo's main street Vaso Miskin street (today's Ferhadija street). 26 citizens of Sarajevo were killed and 108 were wounded. The massacre was filmed and the scenes of murdered, wounded and maimed Sarajevans traveled the world and significantly contributed to the public at large sympathizing with the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and against the Bosnian Serbs who were heavily criticized by the Western press on that occasion. On 30 May 1992, the massacre was given as a reason for the United Nations Security Council passing the Security Council Resolution 757 which banned all international trade, scientific and technical cooperation, sports and cultural exchanges, air travel, and travel of government officials from the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.
