Strossmayer Street (Bosnian:Štrosmajerova ulica;Serbo-Croatian Cyrillic:Штросмајерова улица) is a prominent pedestrian thoroughfare located in theStari Grad municipality ofSarajevo,Bosnia and Herzegovina.[1] Renowned for itsAustro-Hungarian architecture and central location, the street serves as a vital link between historical and modern parts of the city.[2]
Originally constructed during the Austro-Hungarian administration in the late 19th century, the street was initially named Rudolfova ulica (Rudolf Street) in honor ofCrown Prince Rudolf, the son of EmperorFranz Joseph I.[3][failed verification] On 10 January 1919, following the formation of theKingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, the street was renamed to honorJosip Juraj Strossmayer, a Croatian bishop, politician and proponent ofYugoslavism known for his cultural contributions.[4]
Štrosmajerova Street runs in a north-south direction, connecting Zelenih Beretki Street to the junction ofFerhadija Street and Trg fra Grge Martića, directly in front of theSacred Heart Cathedral. This strategic location places it in Sarajevo’s pedestrian zone.[5]
In recognition of its historical and cultural importance, Štrosmajerova Street was declared aNational Monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina by the Commission for the Preservation of National Monuments in April 2019. This designation aims to protect and preserve the street’s architectural heritage and significance within Sarajevo’s urban landscape.[6][7]
