During the Siege of Sarajevo, mortar explosions left craters in the concrete, such as this one next to the Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart.

These red patterns are referred to as the “Red Roses of Sarajevo” for both their pattern and as a morbid acknowledgment of the violence of the siege. Photo: Emma Woods / SIT Balkans
