Abstract

This article examines the establishment and architectural evolution of the Convent and Parish Church of the Assumption of Mary in Tolisa, Bosnia and Herzegovina, from its medieval origins to its status as a National Monument and important convent in Bosna Argentina. Along with the development process from the first chapel that led to the full-size convent, it traces its history through the Hungarian, Ottoman, and Austro-Hungarian periods, highlighting the pivotal role of Josip Vancaš in the church renovation, blending historicism with contemporary trends. The ensemble, emblematic of Franciscan legacy and cultural significance, attests to the endurance of faith amidst historical flux. This study offers insights into Tolisa's broader cultural milieu and architectural heritage through meticulous analysis of architectural elements and historical narratives.
