The Church of St. Vincent de Paul in Sarajevo was built in November 1883 in the neo-gothic style. Attached to the church is a monastery built at the same time for a women's congregation. During the siege of Sarajevo by the Serbs, the church was damaged by grenades. The roof was damaged, as well as Gabriel's painting Jurkić.
The Ali Pasha Mosque is a complex built from 1560 to 1561. The mosque restored in 1894 was severely affected by Serb attacks during the Bosnian war. The building was finally rebuilt in 2004 and added to the list of national monuments in 2005.
The Ashkenazi Synagogue in Sarajevo was completed in 1902 by architect Karl Pařik. This brick building in the Neo-Moorish style still serves as a synagogue.
The Cathedral of the Sacred Heart of Jesus is a Roman Catholic cathedral, built in 1889. The architect of the cathedral was none other than Josip Vancaš (1859-1932), who combined elements of Romanesque and Gothic styles in this project. The cathedral was built on the site of a former Janissary camp where the Austro-Hungarian administration intended to build a town market.
