Rijeka's mighty St. Vitus Cathedral is the only Baroque rotunda of monumental proportions. Construction of this cathedral began in 1638 and was never fully completed. A popular attraction, its interior is adorned with magnificent Baroque altars and a Gothic crucifix.

By the way, a little tip for everyone who has not yet had the opportunity to travel to Rijeka and see the St. Vitus Cathedral for themselves. The impressive structure is depicted on the back of the 100 kuna note from 1993 and 2002. Nevertheless, the building is of course much more impressive in person and definitely worth a trip and visit.
