Music Pavilion, Sarajevo

Music Pavilion, Sarajevo

Built in 1913, the Music Pavilion was designed by Josip Pospišil and it is the only music pavilion in Sarajevo today. It is located in a place that has changed its name and purpose several times. In the 17th century, there was a hippodrome (hence the name Atmejdan), which in 1878 was converted to a square. Later the space was transformed into the Franje Josipa Park.

Music Pavilion was demolished at the beginning of World War II and was rebuilt in 2004. The new design of the pavilion was based on the original drawings from the period of Austro-Hungarian rule.
