Sarajevo is the capital and largest city of Bosnia with approximately 350,000 people living in 4 municipalities. Sarajevo has attracted international attention several times throughout it’s history: In 1914 it was the site of the assassination that sparked World War 1, while seventy years later it became the host city of the1984 Winter Olympics, and eight years after that it became known as the location of the longest city siege in modern history (1992-95) . The Bosnian culture of religious tolerance and diversity is most visible in Sarajevo, with Islam, Eastern Orthodoxy, Catholicism and Judaism coexisting there for 5 centuries. Due to this long and rich history of religious coexistence, Sarajevo has often been called the “Jerusalem of Europe.” In one block you can find a mosque, Orthodox church, Catholic church, and synagogue
