Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, is nestled along the Miljacka River and encircled by the Dinaric Alps. The city's heart features museums that preserve its history, including the Sarajevo 1878–1918, which details the 1914 assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the catalyst for World War I. Notable landmarks in the historic quarter, Baščaršija, encompass the Gazi Husrev-bey Mosque from the Ottoman period.
