Discover more about Music Pavilion - At Mejdan

Nestled in the heart of Sarajevo's At Mejdan park, the Music Pavilion is more than just a café; it's a symbol of the city's vibrant history and cultural fusion. The park itself has transformed over the centuries, from a site for public executions in the 15th century to a bustling horse trading square, and eventually a recreational green space. The pavilion, designed by Josip Pospišil, was erected in 1913, adding a touch of Austro-Hungarian elegance to the area. It quickly became a focal point for musical performances and social gatherings. Sadly, the original structure was lost during the Second World War. However, in 2004, the pavilion was lovingly rebuilt, using original drawings to ensure an authentic recreation of its former glory. Today, the Music Pavilion serves as a popular café, welcoming visitors with its distinctive wooden design and arched windows. It's a place where locals and tourists alike can savor local specialties, and enjoy hot and cold drinks. The pavilion provides a tranquil escape from the city bustle, offering a space to relax and soak in the atmosphere of this historical park. At Mejdan park also features the At Mejdan Archaeology Park near the Ćumurija Bridge, where visitors can explore the remains of the 16th-century Bakr Baba Mosque complex. This glimpse into Sarajevo's Ottoman past adds another layer of historical richness to the location.
