Strange pink or red petals, these are the traces left on the ground by grenade explosions during the 1992-1996 siege.
These strange pink or red petals (Sarajevske Ruže) are the traces left on the ground by shell and grenade explosions during the 1992-1996 siege. As early as 1996, some of these small craters were filled with red resin to preserve the memory of the inhabitants killed and wounded on the spot. In the early 2000s, there were 300 of these bloody flowers throughout the city. Some have disappeared with time or during construction. But others are still well preserved and maintained, notably the one located in front of the Sacred Heart Cathedral.

Des petites tâches rouges qui font œuvre de mémoire, c'est assez bouleversant !
