Church of Saint George, Sopotnica

The Church of Saint George stands on the left bank of the Drina River, four kilometers from Goražde at the foot of Gradina Hill.

The construction of the church began in 1446 under Stefan Vukčić Kosača, who funded religious buildings throughout the Herzegovina region.

The church features Romanesque architecture with Gothic elements, incorporating Roman panels installed by coastal masons during its construction period.

Between 1519 and 1526, the church housed the first printing press in Bosnia and Herzegovina, producing significant religious texts including the Goraždan Trebnik.
