  1. A

    Cathedral of the Assumption

    On the site of the first-century Roman baths and an earlier basilica, the Cathedral of the Assumption is a Romanesque structure from the 12th century. Note the rare early-Christian carving of two birds eating a fish on the first column next to the apse. The left nave features a Gothic chapel from the 15th century, with the coats of arms of the Frankopan princes who used it as place of worship.
