Marian church

During the 1991 Croatian War of Independence, the Roman Catholic church of Our Lady of Consolation in Aljmaš was destroyed and rebuilt almost completely in 2006.[2]

Up to 100,000O pilgrims visit the site each 15 August, the Assumption of Mary.[3]

The rebuilt Marian church in Aljmaš has an unusual shape and facade.
