Early Ottoman Sarajevo

Under the wise leadership of people such as Gazi Husrev-beg (the city’s greatest donor who built most of what is now the Old Town) Sarajevo grew at a rapid rate. Sarajevo became known for its large marketplace and numerous mosques, which by the middle of the 16th century were over a hundred in number. Numerous other buildings appeared, including religious schools, such as the school of Sufi philosophy. Gazi Husrev-Beg himself established a number of buildings named in his honor, such as the Sarajevo library which, in its prime, was in the same category as the Madrassa of Beyazid II.

Gazi Husrev-Beg also built the city's clock tower (Sahat Kula). Sarajevo became one of the most advanced cities in Europe. It had its own water system, clock tower, bathhouses, and schools. In a time when education was merely for the wealthy, and most Europeans considered baths to be unhealthy, Sarayliyas (Sa-ray-lee-yas, residents of Sarajevo) were among the cleanest and most culturally advanced commoners on the continent. A famous Sarajevan poet of the time wrote, "There it seems to man that he can live for a long time, for in a thousand places in Sarajevo flows water from the well of longevity".

Dobro jutro Zorica,
I breathless because of useful historical information and nice building.
TFS.
Pozdrav Necla

Ipak mislim da sam ti veci prijatelj ako napisem:
-obrati paznju na kontra svetlo koje imas u dinjem levom uglu,
-sa leve strane objekat sto ne znam sta je kvari celu kompoziciju i tu mu nije mesto,
-nedostatak fokusa je primetan, ali ipak se radi o nocnom snimku i bez jakog aparata i stativa tesko da i mozes da dobijes kvalitetan i jasan snimak.

Veliki pozdrav!

pozdrav!
lijepa nocna sa zanimljivom perspektivom, ali od svega su mi najzanimljivija ova svijetla s desne strane koja ulaze u kadar. :))
pozdrav!
zoran

Ćao, Zoko:)

Predivan noćni snimak ove zanimljive građevine i zanimljive informacije u tvojoj noti, nije loše da se malo podsetimo (nekada zajedničke) istorije.

Veliki pozdrav,
Slavica

interesting subject and note, my friend.. and the meaning what behind the Sahat Kula.

tfs & greeting, terry

Hi Zorice...
Interesantna fotka u perspektivi, lepe boje s' desne gornje strane!
Ono donje svetlo treba izbaciti pre slikanja, ili bar posle otseci.
Lep nocni snimak, poz. George
