In Mostar, the Ottomans helped build a Catholic church in 1866. The church was destroyed during the 1992 war and the new, larger structure was erected in 2000 on the foundations of the previous building. The church was built in 2000, on the site of the old Catholic church from 1866, which was destroyed in the 1992-1995 war. The bell tower of the church - Mostar's bell tower of peace is 107 m high, and the height of the lookout point from which there is a wonderful view of the entire city is 75 m. There are 370 steps leading to the lookout point next to the elevator. This tourist attraction is visited every year by more and more tourists who enjoy the view of Mostar. The Complex is also proud of its library with its prestigious 50,000 ancient volumes of both the Western and Eastern worlds, and in fact it is the largest of all the libraries with such characteristics in the whole of Herzegovina. The building also holds an important art collection with works of Italian Masters of the 16th and 17th centuries, apart from works of more contemporary art.
