the building was built in 1892-1894 after plans by the Austrian architect Alexander Wittek as a Town Hall. It is considered one of the most important examples of the so-called pseudo Moorish style. The Austro Hungarian Archduke, Franz Ferdinand visited the City Hall of Sarajevo on June 28, 1914, between the first assassination attempt aimed at him and the second, fatal attack. Since 1947, the building was used as a national and University Library.

At the siege of Sarajevo during the Bosnian war (1992-1995), the library was badly damaged in the night from 25 to 26 August 1992. More than 2 million books and documents were burned.
