Muvekita Street

Originally known as Cukovića ulica during the Austro-Hungarian period, the street was later renamed to honor Saliha Hadžihuseinović Muvekita, a prominent Bosnian Muslim intellectual and journalist.{{cite web |title=Saliha Hadžihuseinovića Muvekita |url=https://sarajevo.travel/en/things-to-do/saliha-hadzihuseinovica-muvekita/759 |website=Destination Sarajevo |access-date=18 April 2025}} In the late 19th century, Milena Mrazović, the first professional female journalist in Bosnia and Herzegovina, established the offices and printing press of the Bosnische Post newspaper on this street, contributing significantly to the region's journalistic history.{{cite web|first=Mary|last=Sparks|url=https://www.historytoday.com/mary-sparks/good-woman-sarajevo|author-link=|title=The Good Woman of Sarajevo|publisher=History Today|date=12 December 2013}}
