Welcome to the Cathedral Sveti Marko, Korcula, Croatia. This is probably the most important building in the Korcula Old Town. It is built in Gothic-Renaissance style, completed in 15th century at the place of another church from 13th century. The Cathedral Sveti Marko was built by local masters and craftsman of stone masonry, very well known in renaissance and baroque Dubrovnik and Venice.
The most famous among them was stone mason Marko Andijic who completed the Cathedral's tower and cupola (1481) as well as elegant ciborium above the main altar. The Cathedral's facade is decorated with the truly beautiful fluted rose and various relief and statues, while main door portal is framed by statues of Adam and Eve and figures of lions. Inside the Cathedral Sveti Marko there are two Tintoreto's
this being the largest Church in the city. o Here on the highest point on the peninsula and central square was a smaller Church most likely consecrated to the Mother of God.
