Yellow Bastion

The Yellow Fortress is a cannon fortress at the entrance to the "Vratnik Walled City". It served as a strong defence point against Austro-Hungarian troops in 1878, but the fortress itself was damaged, and it was not completely restored until 1998. This fortress was built close to the Jajce Barracks and the Jekovac water reservoir. It is made of yellow rock and is a popular historical monument in Sarajevo.

Today, The Yellow Fortress is popular with tourists and locals alike. It’s about 15 minutes from Bascarsija and offers stunning views of the city. Standing here, the view is very good, you can enjoy the city view of Sarajevo and the large white cemetery below, the scene is extremely spectacular. The view from the top is stunning, especially during sunset when the City Hall Vijecnica lights up brightly. However, the fort is quite high so some people have difficulty in climbing it. If you are a professional photographer, you do not miss the Yellow Fortress.
