If you’re ever in Sarajevo’s Ottoman-era Old Town, you’ll find many opportunities to wander. Breathe in the smell of shisha from rows of outdoor cafes, pop into a tiny bakery to buy a baklava or burek, or follow the clanging sounds to Kazandžiluk—a.k.a. "Copper Street," where vendors have been selling handmade copper items since the time of the Ottomans.⁠ ⁠ The first coppersmiths of Sarajevo began their craft making kettles for the Turkish army, and eventually expanded to creating hundreds of everyday household items out of metal and copper. Over 300 years later, a dozen or so families of coppersmiths remain in business, as the craftsmanship has been passed down between generations to create goods for local and international tourists—copper plates to tea sets, rings, bookmarks, and more. For more on the history of these coppersmiths and how this place has become the vibrant city it is today, check our link in bio.⁠ ⁠ 📸: kianahayeri⁠ ✍️: Jennifer Richardson⁠ ⁠ #sarajevo #ottoman #oldt...
