Cathedral of Jesus' Heart
Cathedral of Jesus' Heart, Gothic Revival cathedral in Stari Grad, Bosnia and Herzegovina
The Cathedral of Jesus' Heart is a Gothic Revival church in Sarajevo's old town featuring two tall bell towers and distinctive architectural details. Inside, visitors find a marble altar and colored windows displaying biblical scenes.
Construction began in 1884 and drew inspiration from medieval French churches, particularly from architecture north of the Alps. The building was completed shortly after and reflects late 19th-century architectural trends.
The cathedral serves as an active center for Sarajevo's Catholic community and reflects religious diversity through its art and design. Its windows and altars tell stories that resonate with visitors from many backgrounds.
The building can be visited daily and has clear access points and paths for exploring the interior. Services are held on a regular schedule, so visitors should check opening times before planning a visit.
Inside the church is an organ from Zagreb with intricate mechanical works and multiple sound registers that visitors may hear during certain events. This instrument is a technical achievement from the late 1800s.
