<p>Alifakovac - Veliki Alifakovac
The location for the construction of the City Hall was on the right bank of the river Miljacka. The ruling Monarchy wanted to construct a building as never before seen in Sarajevo in order to show citizens its power. The construction of the City Hall envisaged the demolition of surrounding houses including the one of old Benderija, native of Sarajevo. He didn’t allow them to demolish his house because that house was his spiritual peace. After long negotiations, the stubborn old man asked the Monarchy to pay him a bag of gold coins and to move his house to the other bank of Miljacka, brick by brick, stone by stone.
They had no choice but to do as he asked. Since then, Benderija’s house was named “Inat Kuca“ after his spite. As is stated on the official page of “Inat Kuca“, it is still there to defy all governments and it symbolizes Bosnian spite.

In 1997, “Inat Kuca“ was transformed into a traditional Bosnian restaurant.
