The Cathedral of Jesus’ Heart is the largest church in the country, and an impressive fixture of Sarajevo's skyline. Well restored after being heavily damaged in the war, it was built in 1889 by Josip Vancas, the same architect who designed the post office. Outside, the steps provide a popular meeting and resting place. Inside, with the pastel blue and cream walls and some beautiful stained glass, busy Ferhadija seems a hundred miles and a hundred years away. The sense of peace so often found in places of worship permeates the cathedral so if you enter make sure your cell phone is firmly switched to ‘off’.
