Vijecnica
(literally translated as "City Hall") was formerly the
site of the city hall of Sarajevo. Artillery attacks during the
siege of Sarajevo in August 1992 destroyed the collection and catalog
of the Bosnian National and University Library. This library is
currently undergoing reconstruction. It stands as a symbol of the
war's damage to Bosnian culture and history.
