Ah, our last day in Sarajevo! View of the city of Sarajevo from the hills near the fortress.

Have you heard of the Bosnian War and Genocide in the 1990's? For the young generations and for those living outside of Europe, perhaps you have not. I believe this is the missing person wall.

First things first, I am not a religious person. I do not believe in any god or deity of some sort. I used to though. But that was a looooong time ago. Like, some 20+ years ago. Easter Sunday mass service at the Sacred Heart Cathedral of Sarajevo.

The beautiful, cosy ambience and the green panoramic views from Kibe Mahala Restaurant.

Stari Grad is the old town center of Sarajevo and within Stari Grad you will find Baščaršija, the inner old town, the remaining vestiges of the Ottoman Empire in Bosnia & Hercegovina. This blog post, however, is about the other part of Stari Grad.
