Experience the Murals

  MUST SEE  - The murals are a MUST SEE in Pittsburgh and Millvale. Don't call yourself a Pittsburgher unless you have been here.

  Small Church Has a Big Story to Tell - 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.

  Seeing the murals for the first time is amazing! They are exquisite with the LED lighting bringing them to new life. The docent shared the history and significance of the murals. The tour went beyond an hour and was filled with fascinating facts. As the docent suggested, I would like to go another time and hear another docent.
I visited on a Saturday for the 12:30 tour. I made the reservation online and paid onsite but you can pay online. They have an assortment of articles for purchase. I recommend the book about the murals($20) which has beautiful pictures of the murals
