The cultural, natural, and historical heritage is certainly amongst the most fascinating in all of the Balkans – for it is here that the great eastern and western powers met and left their influences in this unknown corner of the world.

emperor’s” style (K&K style). The Oriental Baščaršija, once trading district which still serves for this purpose, preserved its original
look, untouched with newly erected buildings.
