Banja Luka Travel Forum

are there some sightseeing like Castle, Orhodox monastery etc

There is the castle in the town of Banja Luka, also a very nice Orthodox church and the Episcopal court, check my Banja luka page I have nice picture of it.

Yes there are castles of medieval BOSNIAN KINGS, MANY OF THEM.
THERE ARE MONASTIRES TOO ONES OF FRANCISCANS(CATHOLICS MONKS) WHICH MISSION WAS ESTABLISHED IN BOSNIA FROM 12 CENTURY. THEY WERE SENDED BY POPE TO TEACH BOSNIAN HERETICS TO BELIVE CATHOLIC WAY OF UNDERSTANDING GOD.
IN 1448 BOSNIA WAS CAPTURED BY TURKS EVEN THO LAST BOSNIAN KING BECAME CATHOLIC IN ORDER TO GET HELP FROM POPE AND VENICE TO DEFEND KINGDOM. BUT HELP NEVER CAME.
SINCE THAT BOSNIAN EARLY CHRISTIANS AND THEIR RELIGIOUS CLERICS ACCEPTED ISLAM AND OF COURSE BUILD MOSQUES AND BECAME WILLAYA(ISLAMIC STATE IN ISLAMIC CALIPHATE FOR OVER 500 YEARS RULED BY SHERI'A)

FOR THE GENTLEMAN WHO MADE COMMENTS ABOUT "STILL KEEPING MOSQUES." YES OF COURSE AS LONG SINGLE BOSNIAN LIVES THERE WILL BE MOSQUES IN BOSNIA.

AND IN THIS PART OF WORLD(MUSLIM EUROPE) IT HAPPENS TO STILL REMAINED OVER 1000 MAYBE EVEN MORE.

WE ARE PROUD ON OUR FOREFATHERS DURING OUR RULE OF SOUTHEASTERN EUROPE FOR OVER 500 YEARS THAT CHURCHES AND SYNAGOGS WERENT DESTROYED AND REMAINED TILL TODAY. AND HOW EVER IN LAST AGRESSION ON BOSNIA BY CATHOLIC CROATS AND ORTODOX SERBS WERE DESTROYED BY DINAMITE OVER 500 MOSQUES AND CEMENTERIES.

SO YOU SHOULD BE SUPRISED WE STILL KEPT MINORITY CHURCHES ON OUR BOSNIAN SOIL.

FIRST THINK THEN MAKE COMMENTS!!!!!

A gdje si ti to naucio "povjesne cinjenice" iz dalje i blize bosanske povjesti?
- "tisuæu a mozda i vise godina" vladavine islama u Bosni, nemoj biti smjesan.
- "agresija katolika Hrvata" na Bosnu, svasta.
- po tebi u Bosni su svi manjne osim Muslimana-Bosnjaka, za ne povjerovati!?
