The Church of St John in Podmilačje is a national monument near Jajce, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The church dates back at least to 1461, and belonged to the parish of Jajce until 1878, when it became an independent parish.^[1] It remained in use as a Catholic church throughout the Ottoman period. It became "a shared space of multiconfessional pilgrimage", and was the sole medieval church in Bosnia to survive in continuous use.^[2] Catholic, Orthodox and Muslim pilgrims would travel to the church for Saint John's Eve.^[3] Extensive renovations and rebuilding were completed in 1910. On 1 March 1993, the church was completely destroyed by Bosnian Serbs during the Bosnian War.^[4] In 2000, the church was rebuilt, and in 2003 the Commission to preserve national monuments of Bosnia and Herzegovina gave the site protected designation as a National Monument.^[5]
