Gorica Monastery, Franciscan monastery near Livno, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Gorica Monastery is a Franciscan religious community near Livno situated in a mountainous region where stone structures blend with the surrounding landscape. The complex includes the Church of Saints Peter and Paul along with monastic buildings arranged around a central courtyard.

Construction of the church and monastery began in 1854, after friar Lovro Karaula obtained an Ottoman permit in 1852 and a firman in 1853. The church was roofed by 1859, used for Mass from 1860, and consecrated in 1891. Josip pl. Vancaš added reinforced-concrete vaults and the north bell tower in 1903–1906, and the church reopened on 28 October 1906.

The monastery serves as a living community where Franciscan monks gather daily for prayer and spiritual reflection alongside local believers. Visitors encounter a place that continues its role as a center for contemplation and faith.

The best time to visit is during favorable weather since the mountainous setting presents natural challenges for access. The site is approachable on foot, so visitors should prepare for uneven terrain and walking paths.

The monastery's gallery holds the largest collection of paintings by Gabrijel Jurkić, who spent the last twenty years of his life here. The complex also keeps archaeological, ethnographic and sacral collections and a library.
