Sacred Heart Cathedral

Sarajevo's neo-Gothic Catholic cathedral (1889), modelled on Notre-Dame de Dijon.

About

Designed by Josip Vancaš, the cathedral is the largest in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Its square is a favourite meeting point; in front of the entrance you'll see a "Sarajevo rose" — a mortar scar filled with red resin to commemorate those killed there during the siege.

Local tip

Pope John Paul II's statue stands to the left of the entrance.

Location

Katedrala Srca Isusova, Sarajevo
