Stari Grad is the oldest and most historically significant part of Sarajevo in Bosnia and Herzegovina. At its heart is the Baščaršija, the old town market sector where the city was founded by the Ottomans in the 15th century.
The municipality of Stari Grad is characterized by its many religious structures, and examples of unique Bosnian architecture. The eastern half of Stari Grad consists of the Ottoman influenced sectors of the city, while the western half showcases an architecture and culture that arrived with Austria-Hungary, symbolically representing the city as a meeting place between East and West.
The population of Stari Grad is slightly above 250,000, making it the least populous of Sarajevo's four municipalities. Its population density of 742.5 inhabitants per km² also ranks it last among four. Stari Grad contains numerous hotels and tourist attractions including the Old Serbian Orthodox church, Gazi Husrev-Beg Mosque, Tzar's Mosque, and the Sarajevo Cathedral.
