THE HISTORY OF BOSNIA
Sarajevo is a City with its half of millennium existence and history of constant resurrection from fires and ashes. And same as Phoenix, the noble bird, Sarajevo is noble and of course unique. But still only after you visit this city, and only after you have drunk the water from one of hundreds of fountains in Sarajevo, you will realize what the magic of Sarajevo is.
Visoko (Bosnian valley of Pyramids) is 30 km from Sarajevo, approximately 30 min drive. Visoko is a city in central Bosnia and Herzegovina of rich historical heritage. It was an early centre of the Bosnian medieval state, and the site where the first Bosnian king Tvrtko Ist was crowned. Located between Zenica and Sarajevo, Visoko lies on the Bosna River where the river Fojnica merges into it.
