Grbavica (Грбавица) is a neighbourhood of the city of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Today it is part of the municipality of Novo Sarajevo and administratively distinguished between Grbavica I and Grbavica II.

The area was developed as a new residential neighbourhood by the authorities of Socialist Yugoslavia, on the west bank of the Miljacka river.

Features

Grbavica I, between Zagrebačka street and the Miljacka river, aside from residential buildings, hosts the Forestry Faculty of the University of Sarajevo (Šumarski Fakultet), the Kovačići Franciscan Monastery (Franjevački samostan), the Jordanian Mosque (Jordanska Džamija, 1996), three primary schools (OŠ Kovačići, OŠ Grbavica I and OŠ Grbavica II) and the Netherlands embassy. On its north-west corner, the new British Embassy Sarajevo has been built. Grbavica II, between Grbavica I and Hrasno, hosts the Grbavica Shopping Centre and the Ummu Arif Zabadne Mosque. South of Zagrebačka street are Grbavica Stadium, home of FK Željezničar, and the Catholic Church of St. Ignatius (Crkva Sv.Ignacija Lojolskog).
