Cathedral Originally, the three apsidal Old Christian basilica (5th century) was raised on the remnants of the Roman baths. In the cathedral, on the northern side, there is a baptistery. Today, the three apsidal Roman cathedral (12th century) was segregated and extended a number of times. The internal section is ‘supported’ by 14 columns, and one from the northern row (closest to the altar) is the only one with very rare Eucharistic symbols, each side has two birds eating a fish.

Based on the idea of the continuity of sacral edifices, the first Krk cathedral should be on the place of the today’s cathedral. Most churches in the city of Krk are merely reflections of the continuity of church construction, changing its appearance through history under the influence of architectural trends in the corresponding historical epoch. Today, when we observe the Krk cathedral of St Mary, we can see a product of the Middle Ages, which after a major reconstruction in the Romanesque period, kept its appearance until today, despite minor additional construction in the Gothic and Renaissance era.
