Cathedral Basilica of St. Demetrius, Catholic cathedral and minor basilica in Sremska Mitrovica, Serbia.
The Cathedral Basilica of St. Demetrius is a brick church built in neoclassical style, featuring a single-nave interior, a semicircular apse, and a tall bell tower that rises above the facade. The tower dominates the skyline and gives the building its characteristic appearance.
Construction started in 1811 and the building became an important Catholic center in the region. When the Diocese of Srijem was restored in 2008, the church gained its full cathedral status.
The cathedral is named after an early Christian martyr and connects this place to ancient Sirmium's religious past. Worshippers gather here for services and prayer in a space that reflects centuries of faith and devotion.
Visitors can explore the interior during regular services and see religious artworks on display. It is best to check opening times and be respectful of other worshippers if you visit.
Relics of St. Demetrius were discovered near the church in 1978, linking it to early Christian martyrs from ancient Sirmium. These findings gave the location deeper spiritual meaning.
