Banski dvori (the Duke Palace), also known as Banovina, was the seat of the Ban (Duke) who ruled in Vrhbosanska Županija (Province) from 1918 to 1941. At that time, in the period of the first Yugoslavia (known as SHS Kingdom), the city of Banja Luka and the northern Bosnia was a part of Croatia.
Nowadays, since 1995, Banja Luka is a part of Republika Srpska. Leave a Comment

The church of Christ Saviour (hram Hrista Spasitelja) was recently completely reconstructed. First time it was built from 1925 to 1929 and consacrated in 1939 as the church of Holy Trinity (Sveta Trojica).
In 1941, under the rule of so-called NDH (Independent State of Croatia, which was fascistic construction), the church was pulled down. As a Croat, I am not happy because of that, however, this are historical facts. Leave a Comment

Before its flowing into Banja Luka the river is passing trough the nature masterpiece, the Canyon of Vrbas. It used to have very speed streams and lots of whirpools, I remember it when I was a kid.
In the Vrbas River swiming and fishing is possible and allowed. Leave a Comment Address: Banja Luka

Banski Dvor (Governor’s Palace) is beautiful building in the very center of the city. National Assembly is in side, such as concert hall, gallery, state television, restaurant… Most of the main cultural and political happening takes place in side of the building. Leave a Comment

Church of The Holy Trinity is located between City Hall and Banski Dvor. Now it is in the phase of reconstruction.
On the plate in front of the Church is writen:
The former Church of Holy Trinity, now the Church of Christ Saviour, was being built from 1925 to 1929 and dedicated in 1939. The Church was destroyed by Ustashas (Croat Fashists in Second World War) in 1941. The restauration began in 1993. Leave a Comment

Vrbas is very fast river. And it has beautiful green colour. During the summer time, lot of people is trying to refresh their selves in it. In some parts, it is very deep so boys are jumping in it from the city bridges. Leave a Comment

National Bank of Republic of Srpska is just next to Banski Dvor. Very nice building with the fantastic statues in front of it. Statues show Serbian national folklore clothes. Leave a Comment

Medieval Castle is one of Banja Luka’s main attractions. Located on the bank of Vrbas River, it gave specific charm to the city. Unfortunately, during the civil war 1992 – 1995, and after it, nothing was done on it to make it more beautiful. Leave a Comment

City Hall is located just opposite of Banski Dvor. It is almost twins building with it. All city departments are inside. Leave a Comment

Banja Luka’s Orthodox Church, the 'Holy Three' or 'Saborni Hram', was the pride of our city when it was built from 1925 to 1929. Officially sanctified in 1939, the cathedral was completely destroyed in 1941 by bombardment. A new church was built in replica but on a smaller scale, and in a different location.
The recent war saw the end of Banja Luka's Muslim sites, and Fehredija, Europe's oldest mosque. Leave a Comment
