The remnants of the defensive walls, built in response to the 1697 invasion by Eugene of Savoy, offer a glimpse into Sarajevo’s storied past. Recognizing the need for stronger defenses, Bosnian viceroy Gazi Ahmed-paša Rustempašić Skopljak initiated the construction of ramparts around Vratnik in 1729, including the iconic Yellow Fortress.
