Rijeka Cathedral, Baroque cathedral in Rijeka, Croatia.
The cathedral features an octagonal structure with a grand cupola, marble altars, and ornate wooden benches crafted between 1696 and 1742.
Construction of the cathedral began in 1638 under Jesuit architect G. Briano, following the design principles of Venice's Santa Maria della Salute church.
The cathedral houses a medieval wooden crucifix that, according to local records from 1296, produced blood when struck by a stone thrown by a gambler.
Visitors can access the cathedral treasury from 9:00 to 12:00 and 16:00 to 18:00, with advance reservations required for group tours.
The cathedral contains a cannonball near its main entrance with Latin text referencing the Napoleonic Wars events in Rijeka during 1813.
