Krk Cathedral

The Cathedral of the Assumption of Mary features a three-nave basilica structure with Corinthian capitals and a wooden bell tower measuring 40 meters in length.

Construction of the cathedral began in 501 AD on the site of Roman thermal baths, with archaeological evidence showing Christian use of the location since the 4th century.

The cathedral houses religious artwork, decorated wooden pews, and early Christian symbols of the eucharist carved into one of its main columns.

Located in central Krk town, the cathedral complex includes the Church of Saint Quirinus, a bell tower, the Chapel of Saint Barbara, and an early Christian baptistry.

Excavations between 1956 and 1963 revealed preserved Roman mosaic floors and a hypocaust system beneath the cathedral's foundation.
