Co-cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul
Konkatedrala sv. Petra i Pavla
Croatia's second-tallest church. Its 90-meter red-brick spire is Osijek's skyline landmark, and the interior has fine neo-Gothic murals.
The Church of Saints Peter and Paul was built in 1894–1898 under the initiative of Bishop Josip Juraj Strossmayer. It is a red-brick neo-Gothic church with a bell tower about 90 m tall, second in Croatia only to the Zagreb Cathedral. Inside are over 40 stained-glass windows and large murals by the painter Mirko Rački. The altar and pulpit are also in neo-Gothic style. Entry is free, and please keep quiet during Mass. The church stands on the main avenue of the upper town, next to Ante Starčević Square.
