Ilidža se nalazi u sastavu Kantona Sarajevo na udaljenosti od oko 10 km od centra grada. Iz neolitskog perioda, mlađeg kamenog doba značajna je Butmirska kultura. Smatra se da nastala oko 4.000 godina p.n.e u plodnoj dolini rijeke Željeznice u kojem se razvilo naselje Zemunica. Danas su sačuvani značajni ostaci butmirske keramike. Banjsko naselje kolonija Aquae nastala je u periodu od 1. do 5. vijeka gdje je Aquae bio čest naziv rimskih gradova i municipalnih jedinica. Pronađen je natpis posvećen Apolonu u Lužanima na Ilidži sa simboličkim atributima svjetlosti i liječenja. Sredinom prošlog stoljeća pronađena je rimska vila sa sačuvanim mozaikom kvradratnog oblika, gdje se u centralnom dijelu nalazi lik žene koji vjerovatno simbolizira nimfu. Pronađeni su i drugi mozaici sa geometrijskim i životinjskim motivima.
Rimski most se nalazi u neselju Plandište. Izgrađen je od kamena u 16. vijeku preko rijeke Bosne.
Za vrijeme austrougarskog perioda izgrađeni su hoteli Igman, Hungaria, Austria i Bosna, zasađena je Velika aleja, uređene mnogobrojne staze za šetnju.
Ilidža is part of the Sarajevo canton at a distance of about 10 kilometers from the center of the city. From the Neolithic period there are important remains called the Butmir culture. It is considered to have emerged about 4000 years ago in the fertile valley of the river Željeznica around the neighborhood of Zemunica. Until the present day there are remains of important Butmir ceramics. The bath neighborhood (colony Aqua S) dates from the 1stuntil the 5th century where the Aquae was a common name of Roman towns and municipalities.
There is aninscription dedicated to Apollo in Lužani Ilidža with symbolic attributes of light and healing. In the middle of the previous century a Roman villa was discovered with a preserved mosaic of square shape where in the central part there is a portrait of a woman which probably symbolizes a nymph. Other mosaics with geometric and animal motives were also discovered.
The Roman bridge is located in the neighborhood of Plandište. It was built from stone in the 16th century across the river Bosnia.
During the Austro-Hungarian period the hotels Igman, Hungaria, Austria and Bosnia were built as well as the the Velika Aleja (Long alley) and many paths for walking.
