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.

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 Markale market shelling or Markale massacres were two separate bombardments, with at least one of them confirmed to have been carried out by the Army of Republika Srpska, targeting civilians during the siege of Sarajevo in the Bosnian War. They occurred at the Markale (marketplace) located in the historic core of Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The first occurred on 5 February 1994; 68 people were killed and 144 more were wounded by a 120-millimetre (4.7 in) mortar. The second occurred on 28 August 1995 when five mortar shells launched by Army of Republika Srpska killed 43 people and wounded 75 others. The latter attack was the alleged reason for NATO air strikes against Bosnian Serb forces that would eventually lead to the Dayton Peace Accords and the end of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The responsibility of the Army of the Republika Srpska for the first shelling is contested, since investigations to establish the location from where the shells had been fired led to ambiguous results. Serb forces claimed that the Bosnian army had actually shelled its own people in order to provoke intervention of Western countries on their side. The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) in its appeal judgement of Stanislav Galić in 2006 summarized the evidence and ruled that the conclusion that the shells had been fired from a location occupied by Serb forces was a reasonable one; nevertheless, Radovan Karadžić during his trial before ICTY tried to use this claim to his defence, but was found guilty.

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.

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.
