Two buildings that have dominated the sleepy town for centuries, the Franciscan Priory of the Holy Spirit and the Carsijska dzamija mosque, illustrate the dual religious heritage of Fojnica as a place important to both Muslims and Catholics. The two shrines are not just religious centres for nearby people. They are also the focal points of interest for all those coming to the Fojnica region.
