Jajce Catacombs
Katakombe Jajce
An underground church and family tombs carved into rock in the early 15th century by Duke Hrvoje, with crosses, suns, and crescents carved into the walls.
These underground tombs lie inside the old town. They were carved in the early 15th century by Duke Hrvoje Vukčić Hrvatinić and are arranged on two levels, with an altar, burial chambers, and cross, sun, and crescent reliefs carved into the rock. The reliefs reflect the distinctive faith of the medieval Bosnian Church. The cave is small, and a visit takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Admission is about 2 to 3 KM. During World War II, Tito took shelter here during air raids. It can be combined with Saint Mary's Church and the fortress into a walking route.
