Zagreb Cathedral, Gothic cathedral in Kaptol, Croatia
The cathedral features twin spires rising 108 meters high, making it the tallest building in Croatia with a length of 77 meters and width of 46 meters.
The first cathedral was built in 1217, but after Mongol destruction in 1242 a new structure was erected, later rebuilt in neo-Gothic style by Hermann Bollé following the 1880 earthquake.
The cathedral treasury contains religious artifacts dating from the 11th century, including medieval manuscripts, liturgical vessels, and ecclesiastical garments used throughout its history.
During the 2020 earthquakes, both spires sustained damage, leading to the controlled demolition of the north tower and closure of the building for extensive restoration work.
The cathedral houses eight bells distributed between its towers, with the largest bell weighing 6.5 tons and dating from 1843.
