Vijećnica is the most extravagant building constructed in Sarajevo during Austro-Hungarian occupation and serves as a symbol of the meeting of world civilizations. The project was overseen by Alexander Wittek, who had proposed his Pseudo Moorish design – the perfect architectural unity of East and West – for the future seat of the city’s government. Since it first opened on April 20, 1896, the building has become the most important symbol of Sarajevo and is featured as an iconic motif in many photographs of the city. After World War II, Vijećnica became home to the National and University Library of BiH. On the nights of August 25-26, 1992 during the last war, Vijećnica was set ablaze. Nearly 90% of the library's collection went up in flames and the building became a symbol of the Siege and tragedy of Sarajevo. Vijećnica’s reconstruction got underway in 1996 and the official opening took place on May 9, 2014, the same day that Europe Day and the Day of Victory over Fascism are observed.

More than a museum — a place that wakes you up This place isn’t just beautiful — you can see that in the photos. But it holds something deeper. It holds history. Standing here, I had to admit something to myself: how much I don’t know. How much passes by, unnoticed. How much noise surrounds us. And how hard it is to reach the truth. To really understand what happened — and what still happens. You live your peaceful life. And you think you understand the world. But then you come here. And you realize: when innocent people are killed — it doesn’t matter whose “side” it is. It’s not about sides anymore. It’s about humanity. This place — this museum — shook me. Not with aggression. Not with guilt. But with presence. With clarity. It didn’t give me easy answers. It gave me a moment of awakening. And I know I will carry that with me.

In the east of Sarajevo's historic center stands one of the city's most striking buildings: the Sarajevo City Hall, also known as Vijećnica. The Neo-Moorish design from 1891 is by the Czech architect Karel Pařík, and although the building was completed in 1894, it was not formally opened until April 20, 1896. Here Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife Sophie enjoyed their last meal on June 28 1914. In 1949 the National and University Library of Bosnia and Herzegovina (NUL) was established here. During the Siege of Sarajevo (1992-1996), the building was severely damaged, and its restoration was not completed until 2014. Nowadays, in addition to the NUL, the Vijećnica also houses the mayor and the City Council of Sarajevo. Fortunately, you cannot (and should not) miss this characteristic and beautiful building!

Description
