St. Mary's Church stood in the historic centre of Jajce, Bosnia and Herzegovina, at the foot of the citadel. The building was later used as a mosque, known as the Sultan Suleiman Mosque and also as Fethija, a name derived from the Turkish word for "conquered". What remains of it, together with the surviving part of the adjoining St. Luke's belltower, is protected as a national monument of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Its dedication to Mary and its later association with Sultan Suleiman reflect the site's successive uses as a church and a mosque.
