About Mejtaš
What are the main landmarks in Mejtaš?
The landmark weight of Sarajevo sits within walking reach of Mejtaš. The Cathedral of Jesus' Heart stands a few streets from the neighbourhood, and the Eternal Flame Memorial marks the point where the pedestrian centre of Sarajevo begins. Keep going and the Latin Bridge appears.

What is the history of Mejtaš?
Mejtaš took shape as a residential quarter inside the historic centre of Sarajevo, and the streets below it carry the layered building record of the capital: the Old Synagogue in Sarajevo, the Serbian Orthodox Cathedral in Sarajevo and Saint Joseph's Church all stand within one walkable core. Prestige followed. The neighbourhood holds some of the most sought-after property in Bosnia and Herzegovina, a standing that rests on position rather than on any single monument.
Where is Mejtaš?
Mejtaš covers a compact patch of central Sarajevo, close enough to the pedestrian core that the Eternal Flame Memorial is a short walk away.
