Sights

Kastel Fortress

A historic fortress on the banks of the Vrbas River in the heart of the city. The site has been fortified since antiquity, and the current walls largely date from the Ottoman period. Today it is a popular spot for walks, summer concerts and festivals.

Ferhadija Mosque

This 16th-century Ottoman mosque, built in 1579, was destroyed in 1993 during the war. It was meticulously reconstructed using original techniques and materials, and reopened in 2016 as a symbol of cultural heritage.

Cathedral of Christ the Saviour

A striking Serbian Orthodox cathedral in the city centre, recognisable by its golden domes and walls of yellow and red stone. It was rebuilt and completed in 2004 on the site of an earlier church destroyed during the Second World War.

Did you know...

The name Banja Luka is often linked to the words 'ban' (a historical title for a regional ruler) or 'banja' (spa) and 'luka' (meadow or valley), and the area has been known for its thermal springs since Roman times.

In 1969 Banja Luka was hit by a powerful earthquake that damaged a large part of the city, after which many districts were rebuilt.

Banja Luka is famous for its own style of ćevapi: 'Banjalučki ćevapi' are served joined together in blocks of four and tucked into a soft somun flatbread.
