Požega Cathedral

Požega Cathedral is a baroque building with a 63-meter tower that dominates the skyline. Inside, multiple altars are decorated with ornate baroque and rococo artistic elements throughout the interior.

Construction started in 1756 under Bishop Franjo Thauszy, who provided funding for the project. The site was chosen at the foot of an older medieval fortress, giving it a strategic location in the town.

The cathedral displays works by Croatian painters whose biblical scenes and religious imagery fill the walls. These artworks create a visual narrative for worshippers and visitors walking through the interior.

The building is open during daytime hours when regular services are held and the interior is accessible. Visitors should dress respectfully and be mindful of ongoing religious activities taking place inside.

The cathedral houses an organ built by the Josip Brandl factory in Maribor and installed in 1900. This instrument represents the craftsmanship of its era and continues to define the acoustic character of the space.
