Ciglane

Ciglane (Cyrillic: Циглане) is a neighborhood and local community in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, one of the 19 local communities in the Municipality of Centar Sarajevo.[1] It was constructed on the Crni Vrh hill during the 1970s.[2] Known for its brutalist design, it stands out from surrounding areas. It is also the only neighborhood in the city with its own funicular, called the Kosi Lift ("Slanted lift").[3]

Name

The name "Ciglane" comes from the Serbo-Croatian word for a brick factory, "Ciglana". It owes its name to a brick factory, opened by August Braun in 1879, which existed in this spot until 1973.[a][4] The bricks from this factory were used to build many significant buildings in Sarajevo, like the Building of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina.[5]
