Izetbegović Museum

TIME : 2016/2/18 16:55:14

Located in two 1730s stone towers linked by a section of former city wall, this two-room museum explores the background to the 1990s conflict and the role played by BiH's first president, Alija Izetbegović, in 'saving' the country.

Casual tourist visitors might find the museum's dense texts overly detailed but there's also a striking collection of home-made 1990s armaments and the setting is interesting in itself. Enter through the Kula Ploče Tower and exit from Kula Širokac . The museum overlooks countless white graves of the Kovaći cemetery where Izetbegović himeself is buried.
