1) Baščaršija (Old Bazaar) and Sebilj Fountain (must see)
The Old Bazaar (Bascarsija) is the historical and cultural center of Sarajevo. It was built by Isa-Bey Ishakovic, the founder of Sarajevo, at the time the city was founded in the 15th century.
The first construction of the Old Bazaar was in 1462. An inn and several shops were built in the area. Mosques were also added, including the Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque, which was constructed in 1530. In addition to the Mosques, the Old Orthodox Church was established around 1539, and the Old Synagogue was built in 1587.
There are many important, historical buildings and structures in and around the Old Bazaar. Among these are the Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque and the Sebilj Fountain.
Sebilj Fountain is a symbol of Sarajevo. The Ottoman-style wooden fountain built by Mehmed Pasha Kukavica in 1753, was relocated by Austrian architect Alexander Wittek in 1891. Legend states that anyone who drinks from the Sebilj Fountain will return to Sarajevo.
The fountain is so famous that it has inspired numerous replicas around the world. There are copies of the Sebilj Fountain in Belgrade, Serbia; Saint Louis, Missouri; Bursa, Turkey; and Rozaje, Montenegro.

2) Muslihudin ÄŚekrekÄŤija Mosque
Tucked into the lanes of Bascarsija—the old bazaar of Sarajevo—the Muslihudin Cekrekcija Mosque offers a quiet pause amid copper workshops and coffee houses. Built in 1526, it is among the city’s oldest domed mosques and a touchstone of the early Ottoman era in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Its founder, Muslihudin Hadzi Mustafa, earned the nickname “Cekrekcija” for crafting cekrke—pulleys and winches—an echo of Sarajevo’s merchant-craftsman past that still hums in the surrounding streets.
Architecturally, the mosque is a compact, single-domed sanctuary with a shallow cupola and a slender minaret that rises directly from the body of the building—an elegant silhouette typical of early Sarajevo mosques. Though its original porch has not survived, the intimate interior and stonework convey the restrained grace of 16th-century Ottoman design. The mosque stands at the foot of Kovači, steps from other landmarks in the historic core, making it an easy and rewarding stop on a walking exploration of the old city.
Cekrekcija’s legacy reaches beyond its walls. The mosque’s vakuf (pious endowment) once included dozens of nearby market shops whose rents helped sustain religious and social services—an arrangement recorded in one of Sarajevo’s oldest surviving endowment deeds. This practical blend of faith and commerce shaped Baščaršija’s everyday life for centuries and remains part of the story you encounter as you wander its alleys today.
Visitors are welcome outside prayer times; dress modestly, remove shoes at the entrance, and speak softly inside. Plan 15–20 minutes to appreciate the interior, then continue to nearby sights such as the Gazi Husrev-beg complex and the caravanserai ruins. Standing here, with the call to prayer shading into the clink of tinsmiths, you’ll sense how Sarajevo’s spiritual and trading worlds have long shared the same narrow streets.

3) Morica Han
Tucked just off Saraci Street in Sarajevo’s old bazaar, Bascarsija, Morica Han is the city’s best-preserved Ottoman caravanserai—a traditional roadside inn wrapped around a tranquil, arcaded courtyard. Built in 1551 as part of the charitable endowment associated with Gazi Husrev-bey, it anchored the caravan trade that shaped Sarajevo for centuries. Today, its stone walls and timber galleries remain a graceful reminder of that era, inviting visitors to step from the bustle of the bazaar into calm.
Historically, caravanserais offered secure lodging for merchants, animals, and goods moving along Balkan trade routes. Morica Han followed that model: stables and storage on the ground floor, simple guest rooms above, with space for roughly 300 travelers and 70 horses. Though the complex has seen repairs and reconstructions over the centuries, it still reads as an authentic Ottoman inn—one of the last of its kind in the region.
For modern travelers, the appeal is unhurried. Slip through the gate for Bosnian coffee beneath the galleries, linger over a light meal at a courtyard café, and watch locals thread between small workshops and shops around the han. From here you’re steps from other Bascarsija highlights—Gazi Husrev-bey’s Mosque, the bezistan (covered market), and narrow lanes lined with copperware and carpet stalls—making Morica Han an atmospheric base for exploring Sarajevo’s historic heart.
Practical tip: arrive early or later in the afternoon to enjoy the courtyard at its quietest, and take a few minutes to trace the carved details along the arcades—they’re small, but they carry the texture of centuries of travel through Sarajevo.

4) Gazi Husrev Begova Medresa
Tucked into the lanes of Sarajevo’s Bascarsija bazaar, Gazi Husrev-begova Medresa is one of the city’s most enduring landmarks and a living school. Founded in 1537 by the Ottoman governor and benefactor Gazi Husrev-beg, it has educated generations in theology, languages, and the liberal arts, making it among the oldest continually operating educational institutions in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Its name is often shortened to “the Medresa,” and it forms part of a larger 16th-century endowment that shaped Sarajevo’s cultural heart.
Visitors are first drawn to the calm of its courtyard: a traditional fountain, cool arcades, and sturdy stone walls that soften the noise of the market just outside. The architecture reflects Ottoman tastes—balanced proportions, carved woodwork, and classrooms arranged around a cloister—yet the place feels unmistakably Bosnian in its craftsmanship and scale. Across a few steps sits the magnificent Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque and, nearby, the renowned Gazi Husrev-beg Library, all within easy reach of cafés, workshops, and copperware stalls.
Because the Medresa still functions as an Islamic high school, access varies. Courtyards and select areas are sometimes open, especially during cultural events; at other times, visits are limited to protect students’ routines. Dress modestly, keep your voice low, and avoid flash photography. If you’re keen on a deeper look, ask at the mosque’s information desk about current visiting arrangements or occasional guided tours.
Pair your stop here with a stroll through Bascarsija, the Sebilj Fountain, and the adjacent Bezistan (covered market). Together, they reveal how faith, learning, and trade have intertwined in Sarajevo for nearly five centuries.

5) Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque (must see)
Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque is a Sunni Islam mosque in the historic center of Sarajevo. This 16th-century mosque was designed by architect Acem Esir Ali using Early Period, Classical Ottoman architecture. Construction was completed in 1530. Along with the mosque, the plans included Islamic primary and secondary schools, a public bath, and a marketplace.
The mosque was retrofitted with electricity and indoor lighting in 1898 under the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It was the first mosque in the world to have these modern conveniences.
The mosque was targeted by Serbians during the Siege of Sarajevo. It suffered major destruction, but reconstruction efforts began almost immediately at the end of the siege. The new interior was designed by contemporary Bosnian calligrapher Hazim Numanagic.
Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque is considered the largest historical mosque in the country. It is also one of the city's most popular tourist attractions. Visitors are welcome to tour the mosque and its museum daily from 9 AM to 7 PM.

6) Sahat Kula (Clock Tower)
The Sarajevo Clock Tower is one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks and a rare example of Ottoman-era timekeeping still standing in the Balkans. Built in the 17th century, it rises above Bascarsija, the old bazaar, with a square stone structure that commands attention amid the surrounding mosques and narrow streets. Though its exact construction date is uncertain, records suggest it was built during the rule of Gazi Husrev-beg’s vakuf (endowment), tying it closely to the development of Sarajevo’s historic core.
What makes this clock tower particularly unique is its role as the only public clock in the world that measures lunar time, or a la turca. Unlike conventional timepieces, its hands are set so that midnight always coincides with sunset, allowing residents to know the exact time for evening prayers. This tradition continues today, with caretakers adjusting the mechanism daily to match the rhythm of the sun. The clock itself was imported from London in the 19th century, an addition that links Sarajevo’s Ottoman heritage with European craftsmanship.
Standing over 30 meters tall, the tower not only served a practical purpose but also symbolized the blend of cultures that shaped Sarajevo’s history. From its upper windows, the muezzin once called worshippers to prayer, while the passing hours kept the city’s bustling commercial life in order. Visitors will find the tower adjacent to the Gazi Husrev-beg Mosque, making it an easy stop while exploring the heart of Bascarsija.
Today, the Clock Tower remains both a functional timekeeper and a cultural treasure. It embodies the city’s unique character, where East meets West, tradition meets adaptation, and history continues to mark the passing of time. For travelers, pausing at its base offers more than just a view of an old clock—it offers a glimpse into Sarajevo’s layered identity and enduring spirit.

7) Gazi Husrev-Begov Bezistan (Covered Market)
Gazi Husrev‑Beg’s Bezistan, often called the Old or Great Bezistan, is a striking covered market in the heart of Sarajevo’s historic Bascarsija district. Commissioned by Gazi Husrev‑Beg—an influential 16th-century Ottoman governor—and built in 1555, the market forms a key part of his monumental endowment alongside the mosque, madrasa, library, and clock tower. The architecture—crafted in collaboration with Dalmatian and Ragusan masons—features a robust stone façade, a long vaulted corridor, and vaulted entrances, closely reminiscent of Istanbul’s famous Kapalı Bazaar.
Covering about 109 metres along Zlatarska (Gazi Husrev‑Begova) Street, the Bezistan’s east-facing shops historically accommodated metalworkers, gold and silversmiths, while the interior housed grocers and textile traders in cooler, underground spaces. The name “Zlatarska” derives from its longstanding association with jewelry artisans and guilds. Today, nearly 70 small shops continue to operate, offering handcrafted souvenirs, silver filigree, local crafts, and tourist goods.
Declared a national monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina in 2006, the Bezistan stands as a testament to Sarajevo’s rich Ottoman heritage, preserved remarkably well despite past fires and urban change. Though the adjacent Taslihan—a 16th-century caravansarai—was destroyed by fire in 1879, remnants remain visible near the market’s south side, now integrated into the summer garden of Hotel Europe.
For tourists, visiting the Bezistan is more than shopping: it's an immersive journey through centuries of trade, architecture, and cultural continuity in Sarajevo. Whether seeking local crafts, silver jewelry, or simply curious about Ottoman urbanism, the market’s shaded, vaulted alleys offer an evocative backdrop to explore the living legacy of Gazi Husrev-Beg’s civic vision.

8) Emperor's Mosque
The Emperor’s Mosque is one of the city’s earliest Ottoman landmarks and a symbol of its centuries-long Islamic heritage. Commissioned in 1457 by Sultan Mehmed II, known as Mehmed the Conqueror, it was built soon after the Ottoman conquest of Bosnia and marked the establishment of Sarajevo as an emerging urban centre. Although rebuilt and renovated over the centuries, the mosque retains its role as a focal point of worship and history, representing the continuity of Islamic life in the region.
Architecturally, the mosque combines simplicity with elegance. Its spacious prayer hall is topped by a single dome, while a tall, slender minaret rises on one side, characteristic of Ottoman mosque design. The surrounding courtyard, with its graceful fountain for ritual ablutions, enhances the atmosphere of tranquility. Inside, the mosque features restrained decoration with Quranic inscriptions and geometric motifs, reflecting both Ottoman aesthetics and the importance of spiritual focus in worship.
The mosque is set along the banks of the Miljacka River, close to the historic Latin Bridge, which places it in the heart of Sarajevo’s Old Town. Its location not only makes it a prominent visual landmark but also ties it to the city’s layered history, where Ottoman, Austro-Hungarian, and modern influences meet. Today, it continues to serve the local Muslim community while also welcoming visitors curious about Sarajevo’s cultural and religious traditions.
For tourists, the Emperor’s Mosque offers a chance to step into the early Ottoman era and to experience one of the most enduring symbols of Sarajevo’s identity. Whether admired from the riverside or entered respectfully during visiting hours, it stands as both a place of worship and a testament to the city’s long-standing role as a crossroads of cultures.
