About this landmark
Step into the 18th century and discover Svrzina kuća, the finest jewel of Ottoman architecture in Sarajevo. This former residence of the Glođo and Svrzo families perfectly captures the spirit of times gone by through the strict division into selamluk (public area) and haremluk (family area).
Today, as a branch of the Sarajevo Museum, the house offers an authentic glimpse into the refined life of the old town. Stroll through the blooming courtyards and carved rooms, and in summer enjoy exhibitions and concerts that bring this stone monument of history to life. An essential stop for every traveler seeking the true soul of Bosnia.
