In the heart of one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, Prague, there is a unique and charming ‘Sarajevska Street’. This picturesque street not only delights with its architecture but is also a symbol of the historical ties between the two cities, Prague and Sarajevo.
Sarajevska Street got its name way back in 1947 when the Czechoslovak authorities wanted to show close ties with Yugoslavia at the time. Besides Sarajevska Street, there are also Beogradska, Ljubljanska, Zagrebacka, and also Jugoslavska Streets in the immediate vicinity.
The street itself consists of a series of buildings that were built during the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, and the residential building that is located at the intersection with Rejskova stands out for its beauty.
On the far north side of Sarajevska Street is Folimanka Park, a green paradise that provides refuge for tired city souls. The park is the perfect place for walking, running, recreation, and relaxation with family and friends. Its lush vegetation and well-maintained paths attract visitors in all seasons.
This park not only amazes with the beauty of nature, but also with its history thanks to a shelter located deep underground, ready to provide protection in the event of a nuclear attack.
The Folimanka Shelter (Kryt Folimanka) is known as the largest underground building in the Prague 2 district.
It was built in the early 1960s at the height of the Cold War. Its interior of 1.332 square meters can accommodate up to 1.300 people. The shelter has been maintained and is fully functional with lighting, heating, and ventilation.
If you are on your way to Prague, don’t miss the opportunity to visit Sarajevska Street and the beautiful Folimanka Park at its end, Klix.ba reports.
