What is special about St. Stephen's Cathedral?
The roof of St. Stephen's Cathedral is also very special - 230,000 tiles were used to create the fascinating roof and due to the fact that the roof is so steep, it is never covered by snow in winter. St. Stephen's Cathedral is equipped with a total of 13 bells.
What is the oldest church in the world in Croatia?
The Cathedral of Saint Domnius, consecrated at the turn of the 7th century AD, is regarded as the oldest Catholic cathedral in the world that remains in use in its original structure, without near-complete renovation at a later date (though the bell tower dates from the 12th century).
