Inat House

Inat kuća is one of the most original and amusing stories in Sarajevo's history, located on the bank of the Miljacka, directly opposite the City Hall. When the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy decided to build the City Hall at the end of the 19th century, the house of Mujaga Benderlić had to be removed. But Mujaga was not a man who easily accepted other people's decisions — he agreed to move only on the condition that his house be transferred brick by brick to the other bank of the Miljacka.

Austro-Hungary agreed, paid in ducats, and relocated the house, with an official contract signed in 1898. Since then, the house has stood proudly opposite the City Hall, and the inscription in front of it says it all: "I was on that side, but I moved here out of spite." Since 1997, Inat Kuća has been a traditional Bosnian restaurant — a living symbol of Bosnian pride, stubbornness, and humor that has endured for centuries.
