The Zagreb Cathedral, is a Catholic cathedral in Kaptol, Zagreb. It is the second tallest building in Croatia and the most monumental sacral building of Gothic architecture southeast of the Alps. The church is one of the most important symbols of Zagreb and Croatia, and in 2013 it entered in the Register of Cultural Goods of Croatia. It is dedicated to the Assumption of Mary and to king-saints Stephen and Ladislaus. The cathedral is typically Gothic, as is its sacristy, which is of great architectural value. Its prominent spires are considered to be landmarks as they are visible from most parts of the city. The cathedral is 108.4 meters high, making it one of the tallest churches in the world. One of its two spires was damaged during 2020 Zagreb earthquake, upon which Cathedral went on reconstruction, and as of 2024 is still under reconstruction until further notice.
