Alifakovac Muslim cemetery

C'est un des plus anciens cimetieres musulmans de la ville.

Selon mon mini-guide, ce cimetiere serait aussi connu sous le nom de cimetiere Musafir, d'apres un terme turque signifiant 'voyageur', car ils etaient enterres ici s'ils venaient a mourir durant leur sejour a Sarajevo.

J'y suis allee pour la premiere fois ce matin (il faut monter sur la colline en face de celle du quartier Vratnik, de l'autre cote de la riviere), et j'y retournerai lorsqu'il fera plus soleil car les points de vue sont tres interessants !

It is one of the most ancient Muslim cemeteries of the town.

According to my mini-guide, this cemetery is also known as Musafir cemetery, since this Turkish word means 'traveller' and that travellers who died while staying in Sarajevo were burried here.

I went there for the first time this morning (I had to climb the hill facing the one of vratnik district, on the other side of the river), and I will return there when it will be sunnier because the viepoints are very interesting !

 You can see the Alifakovac cemetery in the center of this picture (it is surrounded by houses).

(I took this photograph from the promontory in Vratnik district).
