Kovači
A hillside mahala above the bazaar with the Martyrs' Memorial Cemetery and grill houses where locals eat.
Just a few minutes uphill from Baščaršija, Kovači takes its name from the blacksmiths who worked here. It is home to the Kovači Martyrs' Memorial Cemetery where Alija Izetbegović is buried, and to some of the city's most loved neighbourhood ćevabdžinicas.
