Renovation of the Zagreb Cathedral

The Zagreb Cathedral initially suffered an earthquake on March 22, 2020, in the devastating Zagreb earthquake of magnitude 5.5 on the Richter scale when the stone top of the south tower collapsed, and it suffered additional damage in December of the same year, when it suffered damage from the Petrinja earthquake.

After the big earthquake in Zagreb, damage to the Cathedral is so great that the top of the Cathedral's north tower must also be removed.

The Cathedral of Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is the most stylish and most eloquent architectural realization of sacral architecture in the Neo-Gothic style southeast of the Alps. Due to the recent earthquake, this largest Croatian religious building, one of the most valuable monuments of Croatian cultural heritage, is passing some of the most difficult days in its centuries-old history and changing the view of the city center.
