Ćurčiluk Veliki (great) Street is located in the central part of Sarajevo's old Čaršija and was laid out in the 16th century.
It takes its name from the ćurčije (furriers) who had workshops and stores where they would produce and sell items made from fur. Along with another bazaar, which would later be called Ćurčiluk Mali, it formed the longest market street in old Sarajevo. By the second half of the 18th century there were over 350 furriers working here. During the great fire of August 8, 1879 Ćurčije’s Čaršija was burnt to the ground, along with other parts of Sarajevo's čaršija. The street’s name has not been changed since it was first laid out.
