Strossmayer Street (Bosnian: Štrosmajerova ulica; Serbo-Croatian Cyrillic: Штросмајерова улица) is a pedestrian thoroughfare located in the Stari Grad municipality of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina.[1] The street connects the historic and the modern parts of the city and is known for its Austro-Hungarian architecture.[2]
History
Originally constructed during the Austro-Hungarian administration in the late 19th century, the street was initially named Rudolfova ulica (Rudolf Street) in honor of Crown Prince Rudolf, the son of Emperor Franz Joseph I.[3] On 10 January 1919, following the formation of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, the street was renamed to honor Josip Juraj Strossmayer, a Croatian bishop, politician and proponent of Yugoslavism.[4]
Location and layout
Štrosmajerova Street runs in a north-south direction, connecting Zelenih Beretki Street to the junction of Ferhadija Street and Trg fra Grge Martića, directly in front of the Sacred Heart Cathedral.[5]
National Monument status
In April 2019, Štrosmajerova Street was declared a National Monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina by the Commission for the Preservation of National Monuments.[6][7]
