  History of Sarajevo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sarajevo as we know it today was founded by the Ottoman Empire in the 1450s upon conquering the region, with 1461 typically used as the city’s founding date.
The first Ottoman governor of Bosnia, Isa-Beg Ishaković, transformed whatever cluster of villages there was there into a city and state capitol by building a number of key objects, including a mosque, a closed marketplace, a public bath, a hostel, and of course the governor’s castle (‘’Saray’’) which gave the city it’s present name.
Sarajevo became known for its large marketplace and numerous mosques, which by the middle of the 16th century were over a hundred in number.

It is no coincidence that the beginning of the late Ottoman era in Sarajevo's history begins with the end of the Austro-Ottoman War.
