Visiting Prijedor

I got a chance to visit the north of my country recently and a, for me, never before seen town called Prijedor. Prijedor is located in the northwest part of Bosnia and Herzegovina, on the bank of the Sana and Gomjenica rivers and on slopes of the Kozara mountain. Prijedor has become an important business and merchant centre thanks to the Roman roads and navigation of the Sana river as well as the first railroad built in 1873. Historic buildings and infrastructure from the Ottoman and Austro – Hungarian period are the characteristic of urban landscape. Nowadays, Prijedor is a developed urban, merchant and industrial centre and in the same time. Thanks to long paintings tradition, Prijedor is considered by many a city of painters due to a great number of educated painters of all generations and a rich artistic collection of painting works. You can see a lot of street art and murals while walking through the city center. I hope you will enjoy my stroll through Prijedor.
