A historic building in the center of Vukovar that still bears visible signs of the 1991 siege. The facade, once elegant with Habsburg-style decorations, shows numerous bullet holes and shrapnel damage. On the ground floor, shops and commercial activities have opened, symbolizing the economic recovery of the city. Nearby, more recent buildings show the contrast between modern reconstruction and the still-open wounds of the conflict. The scene testifies to the daily coexistence of Vukovar citizens with the tangible memory of war.
