Jajce Military Barracks is the name for the former barracks in the Sarajevo which is nowadays completely abandoned and devastated. Barracks were built in the 1914 for the purposes of Austro-Hungarian Army and was named after Prince Eugene of Savoy, and the name “Jajce Barracks” bears since 1915 when Austrian military hospital from Jajce moved in. Barracks dominated (with the White bastion) throughout the city, so it is visually impossible to go unnoticed. The building was declared a national monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and it is located in the street Pod Bedemom.

Question from Stipo Jolic · February 01, 2023 · Community

Davno, davno sam bio vojnik u toj kasarni, godinu i pol dana, i kad je sad gledam ruševnu, teško mi je. Ne mogu vjerovati što su rat i krajnji nemar učinili od te prelijepe zgrade. Ponekad dođem u Sarajevo i uvijek odsjednem na meni dragom Vratniku. Srce me boli kad gledam svoju nekadašnju kasarnu. Ne mogu vjerovati da u gradu nema nešto novca i volje da se sačuva taj izuzetno vrijedni kulturni i povjesni spomenik, kakvog nema nadaleko. Srdačan pozdrav. Stipo Jolić Zagreb
