Serene and majestic, framed by the bronze relief doors of the academic sculptor Stipe Sikirica, the church of the Miraculous Lady of Sinj dominates the town's main square. Built between 1699 and 1712, it has withstood wars and earthquakes and, though damaged many times, has preserved its original appearance to this day.
The central place, both in the church and in the hearts of the people of Sinj, belongs to the painting of the Miraculous Lady of Sinj, painted by an unknown artist in the 15th or 16th century. Slightly inclined, with her gaze lowered, she has faithfully watched over her people ever since they brought her from Rama to the Cetina region as their greatest treasure and hope. Legend has it that it was through her miraculous intercession that Sinj was freed from Turkish rule for good in 1715. In gratitude, in 1716 the people of Sinj crowned the painting with a golden crown bearing the inscription IN PERPETUUM CORONATA TRIUMPHAT – ANNO MDCCXV (Crowned forever, she triumphs – 1715). Today the painting rests in a silver frame with a relief of the Sinj fortress on its back (by sculptor Ante Jakić), adorned with the votive gifts of the faithful.
Today's bell tower, 43.5 metres high and with four new bells, was completed in 1927. It replaced the old tower from 1775, which was built of soft marl stone (muljika). The new tower is made of finely dressed ashlar quarried near Sinj. It was consecrated on the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, 4 October 1927.
The church was consecrated in 2009 on the feast of the Ascension, together with the new altar and the statue of Our Lady in the monastery courtyard. The statue, a votive gift of the Gucić family, is the work of academic sculptor Josip Marinović.
