You're standing at Markale, the marketplace in the heart of Sarajevo. Take a look around. Stalls, people doing their shopping, ordinary city life. That's exactly what makes this place so heavy with memory. During the siege of Sarajevo, in the Bosnian War, this market was hit by mortar shells twice.
