I remember
first time when I came here and noticed this communist neighborhood in the centre
of Sarajevo. In fact, it’s quite amazing to see this huge red and white blocks
of flats, like one never ending wall… For
me that’s the best example of communist architecture here, just a few steps far
from Austro-Hungarian buildings.
I’m not fan
of it, but surly there are some pluses to live in such place. Like each quarter,
this one has its own life. It’s like a mini version of the city, where you can
find all what you need in the daily life. There is less pollution here, and it
takes you only about 20 minutes by feet to reach the city center. Ciglane is
built on the hills, apartments are quite big, and you’ve got an excellent view (especially
at night)! You don’t have a problem with parking place. There is a lot of
stairs… but if you’re tired you can always take a lift, even outside…
So, what do
you think of it?
That is not a place I would want to live.......the communist apartments
OdpowiedzUsuńYes, surly I wouldn't like to change your paradise for Ciglane !
UsuńI think I must send my mom and her friend on a weekend trip to Sarajevo :)
OdpowiedzUsuńGreat idea ! If I can advice you something, take a plane at night. You'll not regret it !
UsuńI am not a fan of stairs ... but I do like a room with a view ... always interesting, Doronette ... ;o}
OdpowiedzUsuńand who wants to run here?
Usuńhehehe the view is always the most important ;)
Doronette, there is something appealing to this...at least to the artist in me :) I love the abstract look it takes in your photograph. It's a great photograph!!!
OdpowiedzUsuńoh thank you dear Nanina. You touch my heart !
UsuńI really like this architecture. As long as the scenery around is nice, I think it has a lot of charm to it. :)
OdpowiedzUsuńHappy you like it! Somehow you're right... it's interesting to live in a place like that for a while...
Usuńwow looks like a huge mountain filled with little windows!Impressive!
OdpowiedzUsuńLéia
Very huge ! Really !
UsuńDoronette, I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like to live there.
OdpowiedzUsuńDear D, you're never bored ;) and... you've got a lot of neighbours
UsuńCompared to the monstrosities of groups of grey, twenty story towers that litter Russia and Latvia, these look like heaven on earth, well, perhaps not quite but they at least make an effort to fit into the hillside, provide a view for all and look more mediterranean than like bunkers.
