BISKUPSKA KUĆA U VUKODOLU
THE BISHOP’S HOUSE IN VUKODOL

Summary/Abstract: Relaying on the almost unknown “Chronicle of Father Marko Kalamut”, who was an associate, contemporary and secretary of the bishop Rafo Barišić from Mostar, then on Bakula’s “Šematizam” and Father Radoslav Glavaš’s book which enriches, explains and corrects the historical facts shown in the Chronicle, the author tries to reconstruct and chronologically make a rough draft of diplomatic-administrative occurrences which were happening during the establishment of the bishop’s residence in Vukodol and rebuilding of Catholic sacral structures in Mostar, Široki Brijeg, Ljubuški and other places all over Herzegovina. Central happenings are certainly Barišić’s return from Constantinople with an order for building the bishop’s residence in Mostar (June 18th, 1846), laying a foundation stone for building the Franciscan monastery in Široki Brijeg (July 23rd, 1846) and starting with building of the bishop’s house in Vukodol (April 7th, 1847).
