Babića bašča ( Cyrillic: Бабића башча, lit. "Babić's garden") is a local community within the municipality of Stari Grad, Sarajevo. It's one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city of Sarajevo. It derives its name from a garden that was the property of a certain Babić family, and it was located in a street that now has the same name as the local community. The reason why it's named after a garden is that because almost all houses had gardens in their courtyards and in summer, many people who traveled through Sarajevo in the past, described Sarajevo as a green oasis surrounded by hills, making those gardens something as a symbol of the city. The street and old cemetery Alifakovac is located here and therefore the neighborhood is locally and throughout the city known as Alifakovac. It borders the local communities of Baščaršija, Vratnik and Mošćanica to the north, Hrid – Jarčedoli to the south, Bistrik to the west and the Entity of Republika Srpska to the east. [1] The local community counts a population of 1,496.
There are many buildings and landmarks to be seen in this local community as it is one of the oldest neighborhoods in the city. Some of the more important include:
The neighborhood consists of 23 streets: Alifakovac, Avdage Šahinagića, Alije Bejtića, Babića bašča, Braće Morić, Čeljigovići, Džemala Čelića, Franjevačka, Hafiza-Ibrahima Trebinjca, Hošin brijeg, Lapišnica, Maguda, Maguda čikma, Megara (Mali Alifakovac), Megara čikma, Mehmeda Mujezinovića, Muje Hrnjice, Podcarina, Šeher-Ćehajina čikma, Timurhanova, Toplik, Turbe and Veliki Alifakovac.[ citation needed]
