波斯尼亞的薩拉熱窩市政廳 Sarajevo City Hall in Bosnia

莊嚴的新摩爾條紋外牆使市政廳成為薩拉熱窩最美麗的奧匈帝國時代的建築。始建於1896年，90年代遭到嚴重破壞，2014年重新開放。薩拉熱窩被群山脈環抱，是波斯尼亞和克塞哥維那的首都和文化中心。

莊嚴的新摩爾條紋外牆使三角形的市政廳（Vijecnica）成為薩拉熱窩最美麗的奧匈帝國時代的建築。它始建於1896年，在1990年代的內戰中遭到嚴重破壞，經過艱苦的重建，終於在2014年重新開放。

薩拉熱窩被群山脈環抱，是波斯尼亞和克塞哥維那的首都和文化中心，東西方互相輝映。它曾經以宗教大熔爐而聞名，被稱為「歐洲的耶路撒冷」。在幾個街區內，您仍然可以找到天主教大教堂和東正教大教堂，阿什肯納茲和塞巴第猶太教堂，以及眾多清真寺。

薩拉熱窩在20世紀發生了兩次暴力事件，創造了世界歷史：引發第一次世界大戰的暗殺事件和1990年代對該城市的近4年殘酷圍困。

Sarajevo City Hall in Bosnia

A stately neo-Moorish striped facade makes the triangular Vijecnica (City Hall) Sarajevo’s most beautiful Austro-Hungarian–era building. Built in 1896 and seriously damaged during the 1990s siege, it finally reopened in 2014 after laborious reconstruction.

Ringed by mountains, Sarajevo as capital and cultural centre of Bosnia and Herzegovina, has an enticing East-meets-West vibe. It was once renowned as a religious melting pot, known as ‘the Jerusalem of Europe’. Within a few blocks you can still find large Catholic and Orthodox cathedrals, Ashkenazi and Sephardic synagogues, and numerous mosques.

Two violent events in Sarajevo made world history in the 20th century: the assassination which sparked World War I, and the brutal nearly-4-year siege of the city in the 1990s.
