Ciglane (Cyrillic: Циглане) is a neighborhood and local community in Sarajevo, one of the 19 local communities in the Municipality of Centar Sarajevo.[1] It was constructed on the hill Crni Vrh 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 lift, called the Kosi Lift ("Slanted lift").[3] Ciglane is noted for its high crime rate, mostly involving petty theft, making it unsafe at night.[citation needed]
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]
