Maribor Cathedral
Stolnica svetega Janeza Krstnika
St. John the Baptist Cathedral, begun in the 13th century, with a 57-meter bell tower offering views over the red rooftops of the Old Town and the Drava River.
Maribor Cathedral was begun in the 12th and 13th centuries and blends Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque styles. Its interior features an elegant Gothic choir. The 57-meter bell tower beside it is open to visitors. Climbing roughly 200 steps rewards you with views over the Old Town's red roofs, the Drava River and the distant Pohorje hills, making it one of the best viewpoints in the city. Entry to the cathedral is free, the tower charges a small fee, and winter opening hours are shorter. The cathedral stands on Slomškov Square, opposite the Slovene National Theatre.
