In Bosnia and Herzegovina he is also known as Franz Blazek, Franz Blažek, or Frank Blazek.[citation needed] Some of his noteworthy works include the Mostar Gymnasium, the Masaryk Independence Tower [cs] in HoÅ™ice, Czech Republic, and the Franz Josef Garrison in Sarajevo (today's Ministry of Defence).[2][3]

František Blažek also designed three hotels in Sarajevo's suburb of Ilidža near the Vrelo Bosne: hotels Igman, Austria and Bosna. They were completed in 1895.[4]
