“If I ever knew that Indians and cowboys will move into my neck of the woods I would never cross the Big Blue in search of them in North America”. One of the photos in this photo gallery of Sveta Nedelja (yes, city is called Holly Sunday) should explain sarcastic introduction.

Quoted words in the front of Church of the Holy Trinity in Sveta Nedelja:
Year of construction: 1768 – 1786
Architecture: The church is a significant example of the late Baroque style. This is a single native structure with a rectangular layout, with an apse termination and side bell tower on the main facade.
Interior: The dome is vaulted and its interior is decorated with ornamented stucco mouldings. The church inventory includes the main altar dating back to 1811, the side altar with the stone statue of the Sorrowful Mother of God – Pieta from the 17th century, the pulpit and organ from the year 1800.
Distinctiveness: The Sveta Nedelja parish was first mentioned in 1334, and the parish church was described in 1501 as Gothic structure which has suffered over time. The parish priest in this church from 1760 to 1787 was Mihalj Šilobod Bolšić, writer of first Croatian arithmetic book.
