The Miljacka is known for its peculiar smell and brown waters, but is nonetheless loved by the residents of Sarajevo. Several famous bridges span it, including a bridge designed by Gustave Eiffel, builder of the Eiffel Tower, and the scene of the infamous assassination of Franz Ferdinand, Archduke of Austria by Gavrilo Princip.
