St. Catherine's Church, Baroque church in Upper Town, Zagreb, Croatia

The church displays a barrel-vaulted nave with interior buttresses and side chapels, following architectural patterns of Central European religious buildings.

The Society of Jesus initiated construction in 1620, completing the structure in 1632 as their first religious building in Croatia.

The church interior contains medallions from the 1700s depicting scenes from Saint Catherine's life, along with ornate stucco work by Anton Joseph Quadrio.

Visitors can access the church only during Mass times, where they can observe the main altar dating from 1762 and multiple side chapels.

Two major fires in 1645 and 1674 led Croatian nobles to fund restorations in exchange for displaying their family coats of arms inside the church.
