Hvar Cathedral, Renaissance cathedral in Hvar, Croatia
The cathedral features a triple-aisled basilica structure with a square apse and a bell tower constructed by local builders in 1549.
The cathedral stands on the location of a 6th-century Christian church, followed by a Benedictine convent before becoming the episcopal center in 1147.
The interior contains fifteen altars, including nine Baroque ones from the 17th century decorated with paintings by Venetian masters.
The cathedral opens its doors to visitors daily, allowing them to examine the 15th-century pulpit and stone polyptychs depicting religious scenes.
A second-century Roman ship relief remains preserved inside the bell tower, connecting the religious structure to the maritime history of Hvar.
