Gornji Grad Cathedral - Katedrala v Gornjem Gradu
Gornji Grad's distinctive cathedral was commissioned by Bishop Ernest Attems of Ljubljana and constructed between 1752 and 1761. The cathedral's dimensions were a result of a dispute with Ljubljana's citizens, and many artisans, craftsmen, and farmers from Gornji Grad contributed to its construction. In the baroque style, this cathedral replaced a 12th-century Benedictine monastery, boasting a rugged facade adorned with stone statues, prized 18th and 19th-century paintings, and the tombs of the Ljubljana Bishops. Spanning 58.5 meters in length, 28.6 meters in width, and towering 62 meters high, this cathedral serves as the parish center, regularly attended and open for visitors.
