Plehan, Franciscan monastery at Plehan hill near Derventa, Bosnia and Herzegovina

The religious complex stands at 315 meters elevation on Plehan hill, offering views across Bosnia including Ozren, Vlašić, and Krnjin mountains to the south.

The monastery, established by Franciscans in the 19th century, contained a library and museum until its destruction during the 1992 Bosnia and Herzegovina war.

The rebuilt Religious and Cultural Centre includes St. Marko Church, museum spaces, and a gallery that maintains the region's Catholic heritage.

The center welcomes visitors throughout the year with regular religious services and provides parking facilities just 9 kilometers from central Derventa.

The modern church structure features a cylindrical body transitioning into a cubic prism, with four flying pillars connected by steel cables supporting the cross-vaulted ceiling.
