Sarajevo has changed its name several times in history. Its current name means "Palace of the Sultan Governor" in Turkish. This shows the profound influence of Turkish culture on the city. In 395 AD, after Emperor Theodosius I defeated Maximus, on his deathbed, he moved the border between the Western Empire and the Eastern Empire to near Sarajevo. At that time, Sarajevo was still an unknown town. In the late 15th century, the Turkish Ottoman Empire defeated Serbia, occupied Bosnia and Herzegovina, and forced the local residents to convert to Islam, turning some residents to Muslims. At the same time, the Austro-Hungarian Empire armed the Serbs and used them to defend its borders, and began centuries of fighting.

Historically, along a route leading to central former Yugoslavia (or more precisely through Bosnia and Herzegovina), Catholics and Orthodoxy, Christians and Islam, Germans and Slavs, Russians and Westerners all fought to the death, making Sarajevo's strategic position particularly important. Years of war turned this little-known town into a world-renowned city and a focus of competition among various forces, eventually becoming the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The Old Bridge of Mostar is an ancient building in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is a 427-year-old stone arch bridge (built in 1566 and destroyed in 1993). It spans the Nyretva River flowing through the center of the old city of Mostar. The bridge is 4.55 meters wide and 27.34 long. The highest end of the bridge arch is 20 meters away from the water. There is a stone bridgehead at each end of the bridge.

The style of the old stone bridge harmonizes with the surrounding buildings with ancient stones as the main body and the ancient streets paved with big river pebbles, fully demonstrating the primitive style and artistic style of 16th century Bosnia. The Old Bridge connects the Muslim and Croat populations living on both sides of the river and is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. On September 9, 1993, the Old Bridge was blown up during the War in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Preparations for reconstruction and restoration began after the war in 1996. Reconstruction construction began in 2001 and the project was completed on April 27, 2004. The stone used in the reconstruction and restoration project uses part of the original stone that sank into the river. The insufficient stone and other materials are sourced locally. The material and effect are basically the same as the original condition of the old bridge.
