I travelled to see the Sacred Heart Cathedral in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina. Come join me there too. Welcome to Art, Culture & Travel with me, Anthony King.
The Sacred Heart Cathedral in Sarajevo is the largest cathedral in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the seat of the Archbishop of Vrhbosna. Located in the Old Town, it was built between 1884 and 1887 in a Neo-Gothic style with Romanesque Revival elements. Designed by Josip Vancaš and modelled after Notre-Dame in Dijon, the cathedral was consecrated in 1889. Damaged during the Siege of Sarajevo, it has since been restored. Notable features include its two 43.2-meter bell towers, a main altar of Grisignano marble, frescoes by Alexander Seitz, and stained-glass windows from Innsbruck and Vienna.
