Church of the Visitation of the Blessed Virgin Mary

VUKOVINA

- This rather lovely church is unusual for the red decorative elements brightening up its white façade. As well as a metal onion-shaped spire, the nave is circular in shape and is topped off with a bell-shaped dome. This pilgrim’s church has been here since 1520, and before that a wooden chapel stood on the site. The interior is adorned in Baroque style and contains a miraculous statue of the Virgin Mary.
