TEXT LEGEND PREVIEW

THE MARKALE MARKETS

The covered market built in 1894/95 is often described as resembling a theater rather than a place where meat and vegetables are sold.

During the siege its sellers and customers were somewhat more protected than those in the open markets.The three most atrocious massacres of Sarajevo citizens happened either near it or in front of it. In the last one on August 28, 1995 a mortar shell killed 41 people and wounded another 85. This incident was the immediate cause of the NATO air strikes, the signing of the Dayton Agreement and the gradual lifting of the siege.
