Outstanding murals located on a hill overlooking the city with unique views. The murals themselves are breathtaking and well maintained. You can schedule private tours or attend open tours, the docents are extremely knowledgeable about the history surrounding the murals.

Located in the outskirts of Pittsburgh you will find the St. Nicholas Croatian Catholic Church. From the outside the building is quite unassuming. It's a small neighborhood church, smaller than then the parish church in the neighborhood I grew up in. Step inside however, and you will behold incredible murals painted by a man, I had never heard of until the visit here. The murals are incredible in detail and in the stories they tell. This is a MUST visit when you are in the Pittsburgh area, and you don't have to spend a great deal of time here. There are Saturday tours. Call ahead and check on availability. The tours last about an hour but you can stay as long as you like. This was a hidden gem and a remarkable experience that was completed unexpected.

Bringing out of town family here was a stroke of genius! They loved the docent tour on Saturday morning. Such beautiful murals and a unique story behind them. You will learn about the artist, the Croatian community in Pittsburgh, and the stories behind some of the most interesting murals I've ever seen in an urban, church setting. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to have a fun and unusual experience in Pittsburgh that is off the "common path" for visitors.
