Bosna-Serai

or SARAJEVO, the capital of the province of Bosnia, on the BOSNIA Migliazza, 570 miles W. N. W. of Constantinople. It contains a palace, built by Mohammed II., to which the city owes its name. It was formerly surrounded with walls, but its only defense now is a citadel, built on a rocky height at a short distance E. from the town. Bosna-Serai is the chief mart in the province, the center of the commercial relations between Turkey, Dalmatia, Croatia, and south Germany, and has, in consequence, a considerable trade, with various manufactures. Pop. about 52,000.
