🇬🇧 This Orthodox church is actually less old than you might think – it has only been opened in 2000! It's largely a copy of the Gračanica monastery in Kosovo. But it's beautifully constructed in Byzantine style and if you have never been inside an Orthodox church, you should really go inside because it's stunning! The whole complex consists of the church with its bell tower, a Bishop's Palace, a library, an amphitheatre, a gallery, a banquet hall, a fountain amphitheatre and a summer garden. Since the church complex is located on the Crkvina Hill, you have a beautiful view of the whole city from here too!

🇩🇪 Diese orthodoxe Kirche ist jünger, als du denkst - sie wurde erst im Jahr 2000 erbaut! Hercegovačka Gračanica ist weitgehend eine Kopie des Klosters Gračanica im Kosovo. Das Gebäude ist wunderschön, im byzantinischen Stil gebaut, und wenn du noch nie in einer orthodoxen Kirche warst, solltest du unbedingt hineingehen! Der gesamte Komplex besteht aus der Kirche mit ihrem Glockenturm, einem Bischofspalast, einer Bibliothek, einem Amphitheater, einer Galerie, einem Festsaal, einem Brunnen und einem Sommergarten. Da sich der Kirchenkomplex auf dem Crkvina-Hügel befindet, hast du von hier aus auch einen schönen Blick auf die ganze Stadt!
