Inside the Sacred Heart Cathedral

Interior of the Sacred Heart Cathedral

After visiting Saint Mark's Cemetery and the tomb of Gavrilo Princip, it was a walk back to my hotel to rest my tired feet.

I saw this interesting looking building.

Then I noticed the loop de loop pedestrian bridge and realized that was the Academy of Fine Arts that I saw on the walk to the museums.

Then I saw Sacred Heart Cathedral, the main Catholic church in Islamic and Orthodox Sarajevo:

And I decided to have a look-see inside. Only cost two marks, which is about a dollar.

Built to last:

A plaque dedicated to Saint John Paul II, whose statue is outside the cathedral.

This adjacent building seems distressed.

Lingering effects of the Bosnian War? There are still a number of those, but those numbers (thankfully) are diminishing.
