Fronted with twin-spired clock towers and rose window above the relatively plain stone portal, the neo-Gothic 1889 Catholic Cathedral has a contrastingly colourful interior and three fine stained-glass windows above the finely carved altarpiece. A 2014 statue of Pope John Paul II outside commemorates the mass he served here during a 1997 visit.
In the middle of the square in front of the entrance is a red splatter-pattern in the pavement. After the 1990s conflict, many grenade craters, including this one, were filled with red concrete as reminder of the horrors past. While some such 'Sarajevo Roses' have faded, this one remains vivid.
