Sites


Prior to 1914, the Austro-Hungarians who ruled Sarajevo wanted land in the Sarajevo Old Town district to build a city hall and library.[2] The land had a home on it and, despite offering the owner money, he refused and continued to refuse even when told that he had to move.[2] When the officials threatened him, he moved the house and rebuilt it, piece by piece, on the other side of the Miljacka river, as a way of spiting the officials.[2] The Sarajevo spite house operates today as a restaurant, called "Inat Kuća", which means "Spite House."[2]
