Saint Nicholas Church, Eastern Orthodox church in Rijeka, Croatia
The Saint Nicholas Church features baroque architecture with ornate details, constructed from brick according to designs by architect Ignazio Hencke.
The establishment of this Eastern Orthodox church building reflects the religious diversity that developed in Rijeka throughout different historical periods.
The interior space follows Orthodox traditions with three distinct areas: the narthex as entrance, the nave for congregation, and the sanctuary for sacred rituals.
Visitors can observe the iconostasis, a decorated wall of religious images that separates the main hall from the altar area of the church.
The architectural design merges Eastern Orthodox religious requirements with baroque style elements, creating a specific interpretation of sacred space in Croatia.
