The Yellow Fortress of Sarajevo (Žuta Tabija) is an important attraction in Sarajevo, with profound historical and cultural value and unique landscape features. The following is a detailed introduction about it:
1. Historical background:
- The Yellow Fortress was built between 1727 and 1739 by order of Gazi Ahmed Pasha Rustempašić, the Governor-General of Bosnia. At that time, it was used as a cannon fortress at the entrance of "Vratnik" for the defense of the city. In history, it has been destroyed and rebuilt many times, and the most recent renovation was in 1998.
- In 1878, the Yellow Fortress became one of the defense points against the Austro-Hungarian army. Its geographical location is of great strategic significance for the defense of Sarajevo.
2. Architectural features:
- The Yellow Fortress is an irregular octagonal building built of rough stone. Its building materials and style reflect the architectural features of the Ottoman Empire at that time. It is solid and has certain defensive functions.
3. Landscape and view:
- The Yellow Castle is located on the top of a hill on the east side of the city. It is one of the best places to overlook the panoramic view of Sarajevo. Standing on the Yellow Castle, you can see the red-roofed houses, winding streets and the Miljac River running through the city. The mountains in the distance and the surrounding natural scenery are also in full view. Especially at sunset, the afterglow of the setting sun shines on the city, and the scenery is particularly beautiful. It is one of the best viewing points for sunset in Sarajevo.
- Below the Yellow Castle, you can see large white cemeteries. These cemeteries are to commemorate those who lost their lives in the war. They form a strong contrast with the scenery of the city, giving people shock and contemplation.
4. Cultural significance:
- The Yellow Castle is a witness to the history of Sarajevo, carrying the rise and fall and changes of this city. It is of great value for studying the urban development, military defense and historical culture of Sarajevo during the Ottoman Empire.
- This is also one of the filming locations of the movie "Walter Defends Sarajevo". The classic scene in the movie - the German officer said on the hillside "Look, this city, it is Walter", was filmed in Huangbao. This makes Huangbao a place where many tourists pursue movie memories. #城市来看 #国庆旅游日记 #跟承欢记游上海 #黄堡 #撒杰沃
