Bosnia and Herzegovina is very rich with the cultural heritage sites. These historical sites nowadays look quite different from their original appearance, as a lot of time has passed from the moment of their construction. In addition, some of them were seriously damaged or completely destroyed during the recent war. This paper presents our experience in the digitalization of Bosnian cultural heritage, with the key purpose of preservation, reconstruction and virtual heritage applications. We describe virtual reconstructions and sun simulation of medieval Bosnian gravestone “stecak”, virtual reconstruction of destroyed Sarajevo City Hall Vijećnica and virtual heritage application “Virtual Sarajevo – Baščaršija”.
