Check out the Latin Bridge in Sarajevo. An assassination attempt near the Latin Bridge is known as the fuse of World War I. In 1914, a Serbian assassin shot and assassinated the Austro-Hungarian Crown Prince and his wife who were riding in a carriage near the Latin Bridge at the location of the footprints, triggering the First World War.

The Yellow Fort is a fortification built during the Ottoman Turkish period. It is now an observation deck. Both tourists and locals love to come here to watch the sunrise and sunset. It is very intoxicating to enjoy the dusk and overlook the old city of Sarajevo.

Sarajevo Old Town Hall is located on the Miljac River and is very eye-catching. It is the most magnificent building built during the Austro-Hungarian occupation of Sarajevo and a symbol of world civilization. It was built in 1892 with funding from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. The architectural style is a mixture of neoclassicism and Andalusian style, known as pseudo-Moorish style. The architectural structure is symmetrical and uses a lot of geometric shapes. The architectural style is inherited from Andalusia, that is, the architectural style in Morocco and Andalusia, Spain. The shadow of neoclassical style can be seen in the columns. This is because the Andalusian style became the "exotic style" sought after by mainstream European countries during that period, so this kind of mixed pseudo-Moorish style was born. The project of Sarajevo Old Town Hall was supervised by Alexander Wittek, who proposed a pseudo-Moorish design plan, combining the perfect architectural styles of the East and the West. Since its first opening on April 20, 1896, the building has become the most important symbol of Sarajevo. It is the seat of the Sarajevo government. After World War II, it became the library of the National University of Bosnia and Herzegovina. On August 25-26, 1992, during the Bosnian War, the building was hit by shells and nearly 90% of the library collection was burned, making it one of the symbols of the siege of Sarajevo. The building was rebuilt in 1996 and officially opened to the public on May 9, 2014, which happened to be Europe Day and Victory over Fascism Day.

As the sun sets, when I first arrive in Sarajevo, it is already sunset. In this small European city, there is no city noise, no large groups of tourists, allowing everyone to be cultivated in the environment of this city.

As a relatively ancient city, it is called sugar cures cough. This kind of Zhendong Church really touched us very much, and this church also gave me a very good technique for counseling. In the future, it can cultivate emotions and purify the soul.

The clock tower is also an important landmark in Sarajevo. This clock tower, which is almost the highest point, can be seen in every corner of the old town. The clock tower looks very simple, as if it is simply built with bricks.
