Nearly all of the ornamentation inside is from after the First World War, as the church was shelled by the Austro-Hungarians and its interior was ransacked. The walls outside still bear battle scars from t...
Now just a rectangular shell, the fort beside the river has seen better days, but maybe it’s apt that a building that has lived through so much turmoil should be in pieces today. It’s an Ottoman construction, erected in 1471 by the Bosnian General Isa-Beg Ishaković and reinforced with stone ramparts in the 18th century. The Hungarians and then the ...
