Saburina
House
was
built
in
Kovači
in
the
middle
of
the
18th
century
and
is
one
of
few
preserved
examples
of
residential
architecture
in
Sarajevo
dating
from
the
Ottoman
period.
It
was
originally
built
as
a
residential
complex
which
comprised
several
parts
–
separate
areas
for
women
and
men,
a
courtyard,
garden
and
auxiliary
buildings.
The
ladies’
section
of
the
house
fell
into
disrepair
in
1918
and
parts
of
the
interior
were
transferred
to
the
Ethnology
Department
of
the National
Museum in
Sarajevo.
The
men’s
section
and
the
courtyard
are
the
only
parts
of
the
entire
complex
to
have
remained
intact
to
this
day.
The
house
takes
its
name
from
the Sabur family,
a
reputable
family
of
Sarajevo
metalworkers
and
merchants
who
did
business
in
metal
goods.
The
entire
neighborhood
and
even
the
street
on
which
the
house
is
located
were
named
after
them.
The
Žiga
family
would
later
come
into
possession
of
the
house,
through
a
dowry,
and
it
is
now
the
property
of
the
Sarajevo
Stari
Grad
Municipality.
The
house
was
badly
damaged
during
the
last
war
and
extensive
reconstruction
was
carried
out,
off
and
on,
from
2005
to
2013.
The
original
interior
remains
intact
and
the
house
has
been
furnished
with
traditional
hand-made
furniture,
and
there
are
examples
of
traditional
clothing
worn
by
the bey his
wife.
The
original
items
can
be
found
in Brusa
Bezistan.
The Saburina House,
as
a
residential
complex,
was
made
a
National
Monument
of
BiH
in
2006
and
is
now
used
as
a
place
to
welcome
delegations
and
guests
and
is
open
to
visitors.
