Memorial in City of Sarajevo

You're standing by the Latin Bridge in Sarajevo, at the corner where, on Sunday 28 June 1914, the shots rang out that helped spark the First World War. Look along the embankment by the Miljacka river. That morning a line of open cars drove along here, carrying Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne, and his wife Sophie. Back in Vienna she wasn't allowed to sit beside him at official events. Here in Bosnia she could. That's exactly why they came together.
