Why pilgrims come

Discover what makes Shrine of Our Lady of Sinj a place of pilgrimage

A great Dalmatian Franciscan shrine centered on the venerated painting of Our Lady of Sinj, brought by friars and Catholic families who fled Rama in 1687. Its annual August pilgrimage and the official route from Solin preserve a living link between Croatia and Rama-Šćit in Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Approach Sinj through the painting's migration from Rama, the Franciscan sanctuary, and the thirty-kilometre pilgrim route from Solin.
