War damage to the cultural heritage in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina (14855 words)
Sarajevo began to function as an urban entity in the middle of the 15th century; the new Ottoman settlement was established alongside an already-existing mediaeval settlement, according to the urban practices of early Ottoman times.
Sarajevo as a typical feudal town was to undergo crucial change at the end of the 19th century with the building of new structures in a pseudo-mediaeval, historicising style, and subsequently with the introduction of electricity and buildings in the style of Art-Nouveau.
