Cathedral of St. Nicholas
The Cathedral of Saint Nicholas, commonly known as Saint Nicholas' Cathedral, Ljubljana Cathedral, or simply the Cathedral (Stolnica), is a cathedral in Ljubljana, the Slovenian capital. Ljubljana Cathedral firstly had a Gothic structure. Due to fires and battles, this monument has undergone a few different forms since the 13th century. The existing Baroque design has been in place from the beginning of the 18th century.
The Cathedral of Saint Nicholas is a magnificent structure filled with works of art by numerous Italian Baroque artists. The interior's frescoes, paintings, and sculpture were created in the 18th century by artists such Francesco Robba, the Groppelli brothers, Angelo Putti, and Giulio Quaglio. The magnificent dome fresco, painted by Slovenian Matev Langus in 1844, and the main gateway door, whose relief depicts Slovenia's history, both are from recent periods.
Afterwards, a ton of other pieces of art were included. The dome fresco that Matev Langus created in 1844 is one of the more intriguing ones. The main entry door relief by Tone Demar, which depicts Slovenia's history and was commissioned to commemorate the 1250th anniversary of Christianity in Slovenia, and the side doors by Mirsad Begi, which feature bishop portraits, are among the most notable additions from the 20th century.
