Assumption Cathedral, Catholic cathedral in Kalocsa, Hungary.

The Assumption Cathedral features ornate Baroque architecture with detailed stuccowork on the ceiling created by Italian craftsmen during the 18th century.

The current cathedral, constructed between 1728 and 1774, stands on the site of earlier churches, with the first structure dating back to 1050.

The central altarpiece depicts the Assumption scene, created by Viennese artist Leopold Kupelwieser, while sculptures of Hungarian kings Stephen I and Ladislas I stand near.

The cathedral serves as the main church of the Archdiocese of Kalocsa-Kecskemét and maintains regular Catholic services throughout the week.

Most historical documents about the cathedral's construction were lost in the 18th century, leaving uncertainty about its principal architect.
