Vijećnica, also known as the Sarajevo City Hall, is one of the most iconic and historically significant buildings in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Originally constructed in 1896 during the Austro-Hungarian period, it showcases a stunning pseudo-Moorish architectural style. Over the years, Vijećnica has served various purposes, including as the city hall and later as the National and University Library of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Tragically, it was heavily damaged during the Siege of Sarajevo in 1992, leading to the loss of countless irreplaceable books and manuscripts.
