Cerkev sv. Vrh v Bovcu



The church of St. Urh, with its dominant position on the high flat to which leads a monumental staircase, endows Bovec with a more picturesque appearance. The main façade is in the neo-Roman style, and in the nave of the church we find the remains of old Gothic architecture, whose remains are visible in the Gothic portals and in the Gothic triumphal arch in the eastern wall of the nave. In the interior of the presbytery stands an imposing altar fashioned from the local reddish rock. The windows with multicoloured stain glass images (vitrages) give the rich and agitated interior an additional charm while the external appearance is provided by the mighty belfry.
