Sarajevo Roses (Distributed Public Memorial) Public place

The name given to mortar-shell scarring scattered across Sarajevo's pavements from the siege of the city (1992-1996), some of which were later filled with red resin as memorials to the victims; this is not a single landmark but a distributed public-memory phenomenon found at several points around the city (most notably near the Markale market in Centar), represented here as one illustrative entry pointing to a well-documented phenomenon covered by journalistic and historical sources, presented with complete neutrality and without sensationalism or politicization.
