Katedrala Svetog Jakova

St. Jacob's Cathedral is the greatest work of the Croatian Renaissance, built between 1431 and 1536. The original design was to build a simple church with a nave, but later a transept, a semicircular dome, an inner hall, and a baptistery were added. The ancient building's dome has a decorative band of 74 half-portraits. The entire church is built of limestone and marble from the island of Brač. The lower part of the church is typical of the late Gothic style, while the dome is in the Renaissance style.
