Sarajevo has also been dubbed as European Jerusalem because of the strong feel of European Jews who had dominated most of the style of buildings in this place. Sarajevo is also the city where many buildings of religious symbols from the Catholic Church, mosque, synagogue and the Orthodox churches stand close together. It was a rare sight that may not be found in European countries other.

When walking around town in the area Ferhadija, you get past the Serbian Orthodox church. You also can find the Majestic style Cathedral, as well as the Mosque Begova typical Turkish style, just in time not more than 5 minutes. This actually shows tolerance between people is truly extraordinary.

Even more impressive, as occurred during 3.5 years of ethnic war that took so many lives, the buildings were totally damaged and still standing strong to this day. Apparently, all the parties at that time seemed to “agree” to each other not doing the destruction of these sacred buildings.

Located downtown in the Ferhadija, starting from the so-called Eternal Flame monument, a torch is accidentally switched on continuously to commemorate the victory of Yugoslavia who in 1945 succeeded in driving the head of Hitler’s Germany. From there, you can see the diversity of building styles influenced communist style that is simple, combined with the Austro-Hungarian style buildings are impressive classical and ornamental.
