Guča Gora Franciscan Monastery
Franjevački samostan Guča Gora
A 19th-century Franciscan monastery and church on the northeast hillside of Travnik, overlooking the village landscape of the Lašva valley.
Guča Gora Monastery was built in the 1850s and is an important Franciscan centre in central Bosnia. Its church, with two bell towers, and the monastery buildings stand on an open hillside, and a small collection of religious art is displayed inside. Far from the tourist crowds, the site is peaceful and offers views over nearby villages and Vlašić Mountain. It is about 7 km from the old town of Travnik, so a car or taxi is needed. A visit takes about 30 to 45 minutes. Visitors should dress modestly when entering the church.
