Lonely Planet review for Cathedral of St George

The Renaissance and baroque Cathedral of St George stands on a ridge north of Tartinijev trg above the sea. To the east runs a 200m stretch of the 15th-century town walls complete with loopholes. They once ran from the sea all the way to the harbour, and seven crenellated towers are still intact.

The church was founded in 1344 and was rebuilt in baroque style in 1637. It is currently undergoing a massive rebuilding, and visitors are allowed only into the choir to view the magnificent marble altar and star-vaulted ceiling.
