The compact historic centre gathers its main monuments within a short walk. The Fethija Mosque began life as the Gothic church of St Anthony of Padua and was converted into a mosque after the Ottoman conquest; it is regarded as one of the oldest Gothic buildings in the country. Nearby, the stone Captain’s Tower on the left bank of the Una is a branch of the Museum of the Una-Sana Canton.
The river itself is the town’s great attraction, its clear green water flowing past cafés, gardens and footbridges. Bihać is also the main gateway to Una National Park, the largest national park in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
