The Cathedral of St. Mark (Croatian: Katedrala sv. Marka) also called Korčula Cathedral, is the Roman Catholic church in Korčula, Croatia. 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.
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. 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.
