Morića Han

Morića Han (also spelled "khan" when translated to English) is considered a true caravanserai because, when operational, it could accommodate about 300 passengers and 70 horses.

[8][9] The citizens of Sarajevo gathered in Morića Han on 29 July 1878, established Narodni Odbor (English: Peoples Council) and protested against the occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina by Austria-Hungary.

It was reconstructed from 1971 to 1974 and decorated with Persian calligraphy inscriptions from poems written by Omar Khayyám.

[12] Management of the endowment rents the han for business purposes that match the historical context, including a national restaurant, a Persian carpet shop, and religious societies.

[13] Morića Han is mentioned in the sevdalinka song "Vila kliče sa vrh Trebevića" used in the film When Father Was Away on Business, directed by Emir Kusturica.
