Bosnia-Herzegovina: Travnik

[Sarajka]

The city of
TRAVNIK

Mods: I realize there was already a Travnik thread but it was labelled "Muslim/Croat Federation" instead of Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Here are some photos of the city and it's alpine resort (Vlasic) from February/March, 2005...

The 'Petar Barbaric' Catholic Center in Travnik.

Travnik has been declared an "Open City" - which is a special designation given to Bosnian cities (by the UN) where all ethnic and religious groups live in harmony.

Nice pictures. That carsija would look really awesome if it was completely rennovated.. a lot of fine historical buildings look too run down.

By the way, I know that the municipalities are right next to each other but how far apart are the cities Novi Travnik and Travnik?


Imagine if all the places like this:

http://fluid.members.epn.ba/Gradovi%20BiH/Travnik/photos/photo6.jpg

Were as rennovated well as this:

A lot of it has been, Ledeni. You probably remember Travnik after the war - even before it, actually.

Surely you agree that downtown Sarajevo looks "better" by these standards in 2005 than it did in 1985? The colors are all fresh and bright - everything looks new and clean. Travnik is going through a similar renovation.

You must remember that Travnik never lost a single building during the war, not even one. A few had to be repaired and that was the extent of it. So, Bosnia-Herzegovina doesn't really have enough money for aesthetic renovations just yet - hence all the bulletholes in Sarajevo.

Travnik has still managed to fix up quite a lot, though. The Plava Voda district is an exceptional example. The main street through town is another. It almost has the atmosphere of post-war Berlin where the main streets were rebuilt, but go a block in any direction and you were standing in war ruins. Travnik is like that. The main streets, sites, are all flawlessly restored - the rest of the city is as rundown and "grey" as the whole of Yugoslavia was in the 1970s.

Ah I see. Interesting post. By the way, a nice new project for Sarajevo has come up in the heart of the downtown.. check the construction update thread.

From some of those pictures, Travnik looks quite modern! Once a little more money goes into the bank, I'm sure all these wonderful cities are going to get cleaned up really well. :yes:

When all these cities in Bosnia and Herzegovina get renovated, I'm sure that all these cities will look absolutely beatiful. Just cleaning them up, putting some fresh paint on the buildings, and it'll be AMAZING! :yes:
