Ljubljana Cathedral, also known as Saint Nicholas's Church, is a prominent architectural and historical landmark in Ljubljana, Slovenia. This stunning Baroque cathedral, with its distinctive green dome and twin towers, is located in the heart of the city's old town. Originally a Gothic church, it was rebuilt in the early 18th century by the Jesuit architect Andrea Pozzo. The interior is richly decorated with elaborate frescoes by Giulio Quaglio, intricate wood carvings, and beautiful marble altars. The cathedral also features impressive bronze doors designed by Mirsad Begić, which depict various scenes from Slovenian history and the life of Saint Nicholas.
