Step onto the Latin Bridge, a beautiful stone crossing over the Miljacka River, and you're standing at a major crossroads of world history. This elegant Ottoman-era bridge is famously the spot where the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 triggered the start of World War I. Feel the weight of that moment as you stroll across, then take in the views of the city and the river. It’s a simple, yet powerful place that connects you directly to Sarajevo's complex and fascinating past, and it's just a short walk from the heart of the Baščaršija bazaar.
