The Longest Siege of a Capital in Modern History

Sarajevo was besieged from April 1992 to February 1996 — roughly 1,425 days, longer than the siege of Leningrad. A 800-metre tunnel dug under the airport runway was, for much of it, the city's only link to the outside.

The clock: Sarajevo keeps UTC+1. Its Gazi Husrev-beg clock tower still runs on lunar time, its hands reset regularly so that 12:00 falls at sunset — the only public clock in Europe kept this way.
