When we walked by the Cathedral of St.Nicholas, a religious ceremony was about to start. We stayed for the whole of mass and had communion. We all gave thanks for the excellent trip we were experiencing and the nice weather.At the same time, we couldn't help noticing the quality of the worshippers of all ages. The church was packed with people mostly local. We also admired the baroque architecture and religious art in the cathedral. The front alter was being renovated. There were a few scaffolds on the inside of the building.The fervour of the parishners impressed me. I thought that religion beliefs had been suppressed in this former satellite country of Russia...
Churches and cathedrals in slovenia have a beautiful distinct architecture and are beautiful maintained
Wow, so beautiful! My husband and I took a walk and decided to go in. Absolutely amazing and the colors are so rich. The doors are very unique too.
opening the big huge wooden doors was fascinating for my son. This was great to visit n take a look at the history n architecture. Even better cos it's free.
If you are in the Old Town area or going to the castle you will likely walk right by this cathedral so you might as well pop in, right? The interior is stunning, packing a lot into a quaint church! But hands down our favorite part of the church are the doors! Both sets of doors are worth stopping to look at and marvel at the detail! One thing to note, the church is closed from 12 to 3, so plan accordingly!
A really lovely small Cathedral with not an inch not painted. What really made it special was the explanation of the paintings and the working of the Cathedral that was given to us by a charming man.
One of the Slovenian most beautiful cathedrals. Just few steps from Ljubljana city market and old town with river Ljubljanica.
Had to visit this cathedral. We were visiting the Christmas market. Fantastic architecture! Can't wait to go back.
The cathedral deserves a visit by anyone interested in art or architecture. The two large sculpted exterior doors are very impressive and the interior ceilings are beautiful (see photos). And admission is free!
The Cathedral itself is not very big and really not extraordinary – quite beautiful outside and inside with pleasing typical décor of the period. The most outstanding part is modern doors that are masterpiece themselves, so do take some time for their proper observation.
