Sarajevo Jewish Tour｜Bosnia and Herzegovina

The end of the 15th century in Europe was the end of a peaceful life for some people. After the fall of Granada in 1492, began the persecution of Jews from Spain and Portugal. Find out how in the 16th century the Sarajevans received new neighbours – the Sephardim Jews and what was the life like in the Sijavus Pasha’s Quarter.

The tour will lead you through the legacy of the Jewish Community in Sarajevo, with so many stories about their life, happiness, suffering, persecution. Discover the magnificent Sarajevo Haggadah, its turbulent history, and what makes it a wonderful example of a cultural fusion.
