| | Sarajevo Over the Centuries |
 | | Sarajevo is also situated on the crossroads which runs along the valleys of the Bosna and Neretva rivers and connects northern Europe with the Mediterranean Sea and its traditions. |
 | | During the Austro-Hungarian dominion, Sarajevo experienced a strong economical, cultural and political development; the first modern industries appeared: a tobacco factory in 1880, a carpet-weaving factory in 1888, a stocking and a furniture factory in 1869, a soap factory in 1894 as well as railway workshops, power plants, textile and food industries. |
 | | Sarajevo, as a crossroads of different cultures and civilizations, an old miniature world, belongs both to the east and to the west, but especially to its people. |
