Saint Joseph's Church, Catholic church in Centar Municipality, Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Saint Joseph's Church presents a triple-aisled basilica layout with a transept and features two oratories and two sacristies within its structure.
The church construction started in 1936 after receiving project proposals from the Vatican, and architect Karel Pařík completed the building in 1939.
The high altar and terracotta Stations of the Cross received from Pope Pius XII represent significant religious artworks within the church.
The church maintains regular services and houses a crypt beneath the sanctuary containing sixteen tombs, including Archbishop Ivan Šarić's final resting place.
The interior contains restored stained glass windows originally designed by Ivan Marinkocić and wall paintings created by Josip Podolski in 1939.
