Trip Planning

Catholic travellers to Croatia will feel right at home. Croatia is predominantly Catholic and offers a wealth of churches and cathedrals replete with reliquaries and holy objects. One of the more unusual is the selection of mummified saints in Vodnjan. In addition there are several powerful holy sites dedicated to the Virgin Mary that attract pilgrims from around the world. Visit these popular pilgrimage sites:

Marija Bistrica
Just a short trip from Zagreb, this is the most important pilgrimage destination in Croatia. Read more.

Trsat Castle
Right outside Rijeka, the shrine here was the site of a 13th-century miracle. Read more.

Medjugorje
It's in Bosnia, not Croatia, but this miraculous site is easily reachable from Split.
