Korčula Cathedral

The Cathedral of St. Mark ^[1][2] (Croatian: Katedrala sv. Marka) also called Korčula Cathedral, is the Roman Catholic church in Korčula, Croatia.^[3] It occupies an elevated position in the town centre. It is a former cathedral of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Korčula. In 1828, the diocese of Korčula was suppressed to the Diocese of Dubrovnik, so the Korčula Cathedral lost its status.^[4]

Architecture and furnishings

The cathedral was built by local masters from the fifteenth century to the mid-sixteenth century. In 1557, an organ was placed in the cathedral. Tintoretto painted the altarpiece. The portal is the work of Bonino da Milano.^[5] A new organ was built in 1787 by Vinko Klisevic. In modern times, a bronze statue of Jesus Christ, the work of Croatian sculptor Frano Kršinić, was added to the baptistery.
