Apparition Hill, Religious monument in Bijakovići, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The hill features a steep pathway marked with bronze reliefs depicting the Joyful and Sorrowful mysteries of the Rosary leading to the summit.

The location gained international attention in 1981 when local residents reported seeing apparitions of the Virgin Mary on the rocky slopes.

The site incorporates bronze religious artworks created by Italian sculptor Carmelo Puzzolo, including detailed Stations of the Cross installations.

Visitors can access the hill daily between 6:58 AM and 8:06 PM through designated paths starting from the base in Bijakovići village.

A marble statue by sculptor Dino Felici stands at the reported apparition location, replacing the original wooden cross from the first sightings.
