Tuzla· Bosnia & HerzegovinaAbout this landmark
Trg Slobode is the largest square in Bosnia and Herzegovina, located in the historic center of Tuzla. It is a central place for socializing, cultural events and meetings. It brings together symbols of different historical periods: the Čaršija Mosque and fountain from the Ottoman era, the reconstructed Barok Building from the Austro-Hungarian period, and sculptural references to the Bosnian Middle Ages.
The Barok Building, demolished in 1983 due to ground subsidence, was rebuilt 25 years later in its original form, with the inscription Salines, Soli and Tuzla on the facade — three names for salt in different languages and eras. The fountain in the center of the square is decorated with stećak ornaments, and nearby there is a sculptural stećak and marble plaques with epitaphs from medieval tombstone inscriptions. An archaeological site with valuable remains was also discovered on the square. The square is open 24 hours a day and admission is free.
