Maribor Cathedral - Stolnica sv. Janeza Krstnika
Maribor Cathedral (Slovene: mariborska stolnica) stands as a Roman Catholic cathedral in the northeastern city of Maribor, Slovenia, honoring Saint John the Baptist. Functioning as the seat of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Maribor and serving as the parish church of the Parish of Maribor–St. John the Baptist, it also serves as the final resting place of Bishop Anton Martin Slomšek, a notable advocate for Slovene culture.
