A Sarajevo Rose is a concrete scar caused by a mortar shell’s explosion that was later filled with red resin. Mortar rounds landing on concrete create a unique fragmentation pattern that looks almost floral in arrangement. Because Sarajevo was a site of intense urban warfare and suffered thousands of shell explosions during the Bosnian war, the marked concrete patterns are a unique feature to the city.

Throughout the city, explosion marks have been filled with red resin to mark where mortar explosions resulted in one or more deaths. (via Sarajevo Rose - Wikipedia)
