I am giving 5 stars for my respect to religious places otherwise I would give 3 stars. It is not clear when this place is open. Most of the times it is closed. I entered once and the nun was not nice. If I would be searching for a religion, I would cross out this religion after interacting with the nun. She needs communication lessons. Cathedral is beatiful from outside but nothing impressive inside.

Sacred Heart Cathedral was built in honor of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, an important Catholic concept. The building is in the Neo-Gothic style, with Romanesque Revival elements. The building was awarded to the Viennese contractor Baron Karl Schwarz with supervising architect Josip Vancaš. He modeled it after the Notre-Dame in Dijon (France). Work began on 25 August 1884, and was completed on 9 November 1887. The Bishop of Dubrovnik was present for the consecration on 14 September 1889 The building was damaged during the Siege of Sarajevo, but not completely destroyed, and the damage has since been repaired. The building is often considered as a symbol of the city: The design above the door to the cathedral is part of the flag and seal of Sarajevo Canton and the Romanesque towers are featured on the flag and coat of arms of Sarajevo.

Pretty cool place for a stop. Am glad that we took the time to trek here. It would be cool to attend when there was a large outdoor mass. The highlight for me was the "weeping" statue of Christ. Am sure that there is a simple explanation but its better for your heart and the planet to have some faith that its a miracle in mine (and Pascal's) opinion. 4 stars only because the site is not well sign posted. We came to walk "the hill" to the vision site, yet left wothout doing this as could not find it.

Sacred Heart Cathedral in Sarajevo Day 12-07 The Sacred Heart Cathedral also known as the Sarajevo Cathedral, is the largest cathedral in Bosnia and Herzegovina situated in Sarajevo old town. It was constructed in Neo-Gothic style, with a bell tower standing tall on each side of the building. Above the portal is an octagonal rosette and a statue of the Sacred Heart. Visitors are not allowed to take photograph inside the cathedral. It is difficult to describe the interior without any accompanied photographs. In front of the Sacred Heart Cathedral in Sarajevo a larger than life metal statue of Pope John Paul II has been erected. However, it is worthwhile to stop by to the cathedral a visit.

First time we visited Sarajevo, I didn’t think Sacred Heart Cathedral was anything special. But having been to Sarajevo for the fourth time, this building and the whole area grew on me and became one of the highlights each time we visited. Cathedral is indeed special and it’s surrounded with cosy cafes and modern restaurants where you can enjoy and admire the view of it. Recommended!

Very nice place. Old and historical catedral. Architecture from outside is very nice with time mars all over the place. The place looks nice inside. The entrance is free. Location is very good and ner building are beautiful. A MUST when visiting Sarajevo.

I’m sad we couldn’t get inside

There was a lady dressed like a penguin guarding the building. I asked her how many photos I could take inside, and she replied "nun" 😉

The curch is absolutely stunning. The architecture is amazing and all the streets around are in the same style

Historical sacred heart Catholic cathedral in the centre of Sarajevo. Worthwhile, a visit, not far from the Orthodox cathedral, the Baščaršija Mosque, and the synagogue on the other side of the river. If it represents something, it is mainly how diverse and tolerant Bosnian people are until politics were played to divide them and eventually rule...

This church was really nice. No photography inside. The stained glass and architecture were beautiful.

Awesome place. The architecture is astonishing. A piece of history in a beautiful, multicultural city.

great place, warm recommendations for visiting, you cannot come to Sarajevo and not visit this place

A wonderful catholic Cathedral located at heart of Sarajevo. It will take few minutes to visit it

It was built in the Neo-Gothic style, inspired by the cathedrals in Europe. It is one of the places you should visit in Sarajevo. Amazing rose window and wood carvings. 💜 The English servise is only on Sundays at 12:00.

This church never seems to be open. I stopped by 5 times during the week at different times in the morning, afternoon, and evening and it was always locked with no signs of life. Is this a functioning church or just a monument?

A great place to worship. English masses Sunday @12pm.

I didnt see a musuem attached to the church. It is in the old town, so it is easy to visit.

We only saw the cathedral from the outside. Beautiful cathedral also with a sad history, like many other places in Bosnia. You can see the bullet holes from the war on the walls of the cathedral.

Cool place for a visit. No pics allowed inside. Pope John Paul the second statue at the front.

Beautiful building with history. Some war wounds on the outside walls. Inside is special. Spend some time to reflect and pray here. Nice and calm inside. Not as many tourists or visitors, which can be nice.

Amazing Cathedral, unfortunately with a sad story at her feet...The Sarajevo Roses..where the wholes from mortars remains from the war as a memorial to the innocent ones that died in that exact spot when trying to run to safety...the wholes are covered with red wax pretending to be blood.

Nice historical cathedral. When you see it you will know you are in the old town center.

UNABLE TO GO INSIDE BECAUSE I WAS WEARING A VEST BUT A NICE BUILDING IN A NICE AREA OF TOWN.

Very beautiful church on the outside and inside, with different interior architecture than the most of the catholic churches.

Absolutely stunning! Loved the painted ceilings

Amazing structure
