Together with their teachers, 113 students of elementary school Vladimir Nazor had the opportunity to visit Banja Luka. Students and their teachers of Catholic and Islamic religious class decided to visit this Beauty on Vrbas River, as part of the field work, organized by Youth for Peace.
In Banja Luka they visited the most important sights of the city - the central street called Gospodska, Republic Square, a monument called "Krivi sat" (raised in memory of the victims of the earthquake that struck Banja Luka in 1969), and the famous fortress Kastel.
The main reason for schoolchildren visiting Banja Luka was a tour of the most important religious buildings in this city. So they visited Ferhat Pasha's mosque (Ferhadija), which official opening after years of reconstruction was scheduled for 7th May, 2016. They then had the opportunity to visit the Cathedral dedicated to St. Bonaventure, which is also the seat of the Diocese of Banja Luka and the Bishop of Banja Luka Franjo Komarica.
In the end, the students also visited the Cathedral of Christ the Savior, consecrated and renovated in 2007, as one of the most recognizable sights of the city on the banks of the Vrbas. In all places of worship, students and their teachers were kindly welcomed by representatives of religious communities, and they described in details the history of objects. Given the fact that some students had an opportunity to visit a religious building of some other religions for the first time, this was a great opportunity to gain new knowledge about other religions.
