It is known for its rich history and cultural diversity, influenced by various empires, including the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian empires. The city is often referred to as the 'Jerusalem of Europe' due to its unique blend of Eastern and Western cultural and religious influences.
The city is also famous for its role in the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914, an event that sparked World War I.
