The Franciscan Monastery of Fojnica is located in central Bosnia, between Sarajevo and Bugojno (airline). The monastery was next to the busy road, and when the friars could no longer take the noise and traffic, they moved to the higher ground over Fojnica, on the hill Križ, and started building the new monastery in 1502. Today’s monastery is in this place. In 1524, in Fojnica, the monastery and the church were destroyed. The Franciscans build new ones, at the same location and the same dimensions (approx. 31x10 m). In 1664, in the great fire, everything was burned, and the Franciscans move to Lučina, near Jajce, where they collected money for fines and permits, and in 1668 they immigrated to the new monastery and in 1669 to the new church. In the 18^th century, the buildings were restored; in 1801 the first organs were procured in Bosnia. In 1830, the church and monastery were renewed, and the school for Franciscans were opened. In 1884, the Franciscans built a new mastery, and the Church became first catholic church with cupola in Bosnia and Herzegovina. During the First World War Church and Monastery were damaged by detonation and infantry armament. However, there was no major demolition. There are two libraries in the monastery; one is a library of newer books, and those books were published since 1850, and those books were meant for writing diploma papers, for children’s school readings, for students, for research etc.
