Butmir

Butmir

Butmir is a neighborhood of Ilidža in the Sarajevo Canton of Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is a small but fairly important and well-known neighborhood of several thousand people.

Geographically, the Butmir region is very rich in flint. A small stream passes through before connecting to the Željeznica river in central Ilidža.

Ilidža is found a short distance away to the west, while Sarajevo is to the northeast. Between Sarajevo and Butmir is the Sarajevo International Airport, the main airport in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Butmir is most famous for arcehological finds dating back to the neolithic period. The people who lived there some 4500 years ago formed a distinct group, which is today known as the Butmir Culture.
