This pre-Romanesque church was built in the 9th century near the river Cetina, in honour of Pope Stephen VI. It's one of the oldest in the country. Despite the ravages of time, the Saint-Sauveur church remains remarkably upright in its natural environment at altitude, which adds to the beauty of the site. Very important for Orthodox Christians, it is surrounded by about 1,100 tombs in a cemetery considered one of the largest in medieval times.

A monastery, many times destroyed by invasions and by an earthquake but always rebuilt. Today it preserves a beautiful archaeological collection, which was initiated in 1860 in the area of Čitluk, when an ancient head, that of Hercules, was discovered, as well as the lower part of the statue of an emperor. Also found were statues of goddesses, Hecate or Diana with its 172 cm base, numerous tombstones with commemorative inscriptions, high reliefs representing Medusa, Diana and Bacchus, pottery. Another remarkable collection is the numismatic collection with gold coins dating back to the Hellenistic and Roman periods.

Built between 1699 and 1712, the Church of the Virgin Mary (Crkva Gospe Sinjske) was damaged several times, but has withstood wars and earthquakes, preserving its original appearance to this day. This is the miracle! The icon of the Virgin Mary, painted by an anonymous artist (15th or 16th century), is very graceful, with her head slightly bowed and her eyes lowered. According to the legend, thanks to her intercession, the city was liberated from the Ottoman domination in 1715. Grateful, the people of Sinj crowned her with a golden crown. The treasure also includes silver liturgical objects from the Gothic and Baroque eras, religious paintings, and priestly vestments from the 17th and 18th centuries. Also on display are traditional costumes.

This scientific and cultural complex is located a few kilometres south of the city, near the Danube. It is there, on the site of Vučedol, that a large archaeological deposit was found, testifying to the presence of humans from the prehistoric period on this territory.
