Siege of Sarajevo
A Sarajevo Rose (Bosnian: Sarajevske ruže) is a type of memorial in Sarajevo made from concrete scar caused by a mortar shell's explosion that was later filled with red resin. Mortar rounds landing on concrete during the siege of Sarajevo created a unique fragmentation pattern that looks almost floral in arrangement, and therefore have been named "rose".[1][2]
There are around 200 "roses" in the entire city,[3] and they are marked on locations where at least three people were killed during the siege of Sarajevo.[4]
In addition to the official marking of "roses" by the Ministry of Veterans' Affairs of Canton Sarajevo, some of them are marked or recolored by citizens themselves.[5][6]
