Where to stay in Mejdan - Obilićevo
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Rooms in Obilićevo put the Museum of Republika Srpska, the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, and the Republika Srpska Puppet Museum inside an easy walk, which is the argument for basing a Banja Luka stay in this district. It suits museum-first itineraries. Travellers who prefer the church side of the quarter can look towards Rebrovačka crkva and the Cathedral of Saint Bonaventure instead.

About Mejdan - Obilićevo
What are the main landmarks in Mejdan - Obilićevo?
The museum cluster is the district's calling card: the Museum of Republika Srpska, the Museum of Modern Art of Republika Srpska, and the Republika Srpska Puppet Museum are all recorded here. Banja Luka's churches take the remainder. The Cathedral of Christ the Saviour and the Cathedral of Saint Bonaventure anchor two of them, with the Church of the Visitation in Banja Luka nearby.
A statue of Petar Kočić stands among them, and Бања Диреклија is listed on the same roll.
What is the history of Mejdan - Obilićevo?
Obilićevo's beginnings went unwritten. What the district has instead is a stock of buildings that carry its past: the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, the Cathedral of Saint Bonaventure, and the Holy Trinity church all stand within Banja Luka's Obilićevo. Two more church names belong to the same quarter, Rebrovačka crkva and Crkva Hrista Carja.
The written record for the district is thin, so its churches and museums stand in for the chronology that the sources do not supply.
Where is Mejdan - Obilićevo?
Obilićevo forms one of the named districts of Banja Luka, with churches, museums, and the Petar Kočić statue standing among its streets.
