The Palace of Youth and Sports in Pristina
According to the official website of the Oral History Kosovo «the photograph of Adem Jashari, a hero of Kosovo’s recent history, stands tall in the front of the building renaming what was known as the Boro and Ramizi Palace of Youth and Sports, named after two Second World War Yugoslav partisans. Designed in 1974 by Živorad Janković, with its sharply rising roof with two sets of beams, it took several years to build. Boro and Ramizi quickly became one of the main recreational venues of the city for whose construction contributed Pristina residents too. Inspired by Metabolist architecture, the Boro and Ramizi megastructure celebrates both function and form; built in three stages, the first two were completed before the fall of Yugoslavia and the third one consisting of the construction of an open and a closed pool and a bridge to Grand Hotel remains unfinished to this day. The sports hall burned down in 2000 and now is used as a parking lot.» These photos were taken in July 2025 and show exterior and interior views of the Palace of Youth and Sports, including the smaller pavilion used primarily for basketball by KB Prishtina.
