About Franciscan Church of St Anthony
The first Church of St Anthony, built here in 1882, was then the only Catholic church in Sarajevo; today’s church and monastery of the Franciscans stand on Franjevačka in Bistrik, on the left bank of the Miljacka. Our advice: combine with the brewery and Pivnica HS on the same street.
