| Dedicated on the 50th anniversary of the Lourdes miracle, this neo-Gothic church is one of the city highlights, regularly appearing on brochures and postcards. The facade is intricately ornamented and the interior contains frescoes by famous local artist, Romulo Venucci. Dating back to the beginning of the 20th century and located on the western side of the city centre, alongside both the Trg Zabica (Zabica Square) and the intercity bus station, the Capuchin Church of Our Lady of Lourdes ran into problems of a financial nature during its construction. It was not until St. Johanca arrived and proceeded to 'sweat' blood in front of the crowds that the donations flooded in, saving this project from ruin. |
