This Ottoman-era covered market with its six large domes is one of Baščaršija's most recognisable buildings. Designed by Rustem Pasha, Grand Vizier to Suleiman the Great, in 1551 the structure long served as the city's centre of trade and commerce. It was heavily damaged during the siege, but has since been restored and today it's part of the Museum of Sarajevo with a permanent exhibition spanning all the way from antiquity through to the end of the Austro-Hungarian empire.
