Balkans Road Trip: Day 10 – Sarajevo, Travnik, and Banja Luka
We made a second loop around Sarajevo this morning, beginning with a breakfast at a local bakery. Our first stop was Ali Pasha’s Mosque, named after an Ottoman governor of Bosnia in the 16 th century. Surrounding the mosque is a small cemetery occupied mostly by the graves of soldiers fallen in the Yugoslav Wars. Many of the tombstones are decorated with what appear to be marble turbans, presumably an indicator of status.
