Which Roman Catholic Church do you prefer?

[Djamila]

In this thread, I'll share four photographs of two of my favorite Roman Catholic Churches in Sarajevo.

Please, choose which you prefer and let us know why you prefer the Church you do.

The first Church is the Heart of Jesus Cathedral, located on Cathedral Square in downtown Sarajevo. It is surrounded by two of the most beautiful pedestrian-only streets in Sarajevo - Ferhadija and Strosmajerova - in front. Behind the Church is the Islamic Institute, giving it an interesting location.

The second Church is Ste. Anne's Church. It is also located in downtown Sarajevo, though it doesn't have the fine, central location of Heart of Jesus Cathedral. It is surrounded by the Sarajevo Brewery, which has buildings in a similar architectural style and decor (perhaps the Brewery used to be Church property? Residences or some such thing, I'm not sure).

St. Anne's Church is the most beautiful church. The Burgandy coloured outside is what puts it over the top. :yes:

I'm usually drawn to the glasswork. It's usually my favorite part of a shrine/church/temple, but you can't really see it in these pictures.

There are very few ancient Roman Catholic churches in the UK...
They all became Church of England's during the reformation.

The Vast repair and running cost of these ancient churches is bankrupting the Cof E. Whilst most Catholic ones are relatively modern with lower upkeep.

St. Anne's, though the interior of the first is quite beautiful as well.

I like the interior of St. Anne's as well. I don't know if you can tell from these pictures, but virtually the entire interior sparkles in the light - it's really amazing. What's especially amazing is that the interior decor isn't really all that modern. It's at least 50/60 years old.
