Catacomb of Jajce

The second stop on your tour is the so-called Catacombs of Jajce, though locals know it better as an underground Christian church rather than a true catacomb. This unique site, carved into a single rock or cave, showcases the late Romanesque style. It stands as a testament to the region's rich religious and architectural heritage. This stop is optional due to its relatively small size. Visitors should be mindful of this when deciding whether to pay the entrance fee.

Crkva Sv. Marije Jajce

In the early 15th century, as Jajce became the capital of the Bosnian kingdom, an older Romanesque church from the 12th or 13th century was remodeled into the Gothic style. Upon her marriage to Bosnian heir Stjepan Tomašević in 1459, Jelena Branković brought the relics of St. Luke, purchased by Đurađ Branković from the Ottomans in 1453 for 30,000 ducats. Stjepan Tomašević was crowned here in 1461. Later, during Ottoman rule in 1528, this church was converted into a mosque named after Sultan Suleiman I. It suffered multiple fires, the last in 1832, leaving only its walls.
