Review:
The original Gothic building on this site had the status of cathedral when it burnt down in 1469. The current Baroque replacement was built in the early 1700s. The octagonal green dome is flanked by twin towers. There are six bells in the belfries which are adorned with gilded apples. The bronze sculpted doors mark the 1250th anniversary of Christendom among the Slovenian people and depicts their history. Six niches on the exterior walls hold sandstone statues of bishops and saints. On the southern facade there is a sundial and a Gothic pieta. The interior is decorated with frescoes and features altar angels by Robba. There are nine daily services.
