One of the most prominent buildings in Old Sarajevo is the Town Hall, on the banks of the Miljacka River. Vijećnica, it's local name, housed the National and University library after World War II.
This building was set ablaze in 1992, in the Balkans War, which not only destroyed the building, but most of the library collection inside.
It was rebuilt, and re-opened in May 2014, and this is it, in all it's Austro-Hungarian architectural glory!
