You're standing at the Sacred Heart Cathedral in Sarajevo's Old Town, the largest cathedral in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Look up at the two towers. They're just over forty-three metres tall. Do they look familiar? They might, because these towers appear on the coat of arms and flag of the city of Sarajevo. And the design above the door is part of the flag and seal of Sarajevo Canton. This church really is a symbol of the city.
