ST. ANTONIUS-PADUA CHURCH IN BIHAĆ

Dating from 1891, this Catholic church (Crkva Svetog Ante Padovanskog) remains in ruins since an Allied bombing in 1943. Its bell tower of about 35 m height remains in good condition but its bells were removed in 1960. It was deliberately left that way, as a reminder of the responsibility of the local Catholic clergy during the massacres committed by the Ustasha and some Bosnian-Croat inhabitants in 1941. Another church of the same name was erected in 1977 away from the center.
