Tabačka Mosque

The exact year of construction of the Tabačka mosque is not known, but it is assumed that it was built at the latest in the first half of the 17th century when the guild of the "Tabaci (craftsmen working with leather) was large enough to acquire the necessary funds for the construction of such a building. The original mosque was repeatedly damaged by fire and floods. After a particularly damaging flood in 1871, the mosque was built in its present form.

Monastery of Saint-Bonaventure

The monastery of Saint-Bonaventure dates back to 1900. A first Franciscan monastery was built in Mili near Visoko in 1340-41 after the establishment of the Bosnian Franciscan vicariate. It was demolished at the end of the 17th century after the passage of Eugene of Savoy in 1697. The Franciscans returned to Visoko two centuries later, in 1900. In that year a monastery and a church were built, designed by Ivan Holtz.
