The city's historical landmarks can be explored on a single walking tour, while several fascinating and enjoyable attractions lie just outside the city, within a 15-minute to one-hour drive. Bihać is best known for its lifeline - the Una River - and numerous tourist sites, many of which are closely connected to its flow.
Located in the very heart of the city, near St. Anthony of Padua Church, the University Library, and Gradska Otoka, this mosque has undergone several transformations over time. Initially built as a church, it was later converted into a mosque during the Ottoman period. It is one of the rare Islamic places of worship in Europe constructed in the original Romanesque and Gothic styles. It is considered
Built in the late 19th century in a style reflecting historicism and stylistic pluralism, the church originally featured a richly decorated Styrian roof on its bell tower, unmatched in its uniqueness. Over the years, it underwent several modifications, with the most significant changes occurring in 1941 when an additional floor was added, and the original roof was replaced with a simple four-sided structure. The church suffered damage during Allied bombings in 1944, leaving only the bell tower standing. Today, it is a designated national monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
A short distance from St. Anthony of Padua Church and the Una-Sana Canton Museum stands Turbe, a site shrouded in mystery and history. Legends speak of flames and light - a phenomenon that, according to Islamic belief, signifies the martyrdom of those granted a place in paradise. Dating back to the Austro-Hungarian period in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Turbe was built as a tribute to the city's defenders who courageously gave their lives resisting Austro-Hungarian forces. It is recognized as a national monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Set in one of the city's most scenic locations, surrounded by the enchanting Una River, The Girl from Una stands gracefully cast in bronze on Gradska Otoka.
One of the city's most distinctive landmarks, she has stood for years, listening and watching - petrified in her own solitude. She embodies the mystery of the Girl from Una, a secret waiting to be discovered when you visit Bihać. The sculpture is the work of renowned academic sculptor Vladimir Herljević.
