Saint Mark's Cathedral

St. Mark's Cathedral is located in the old town of Korčula. It was built in the Gothic-Renaissance style, completed in the 15th century. The interior is quite modest, you can feel the spirit of the times. There are sarcophagi embedded in the floor, where dignitaries are buried. My wife and I lit a candle and paid homage to the dead.

Beautiful little church in the middle of oldtown Korçula. The first when going up was extremely narrow (even a little claustrophobic) but the views from the top were amazing. Not super safe to go with small children as there are many places they might slip, stumble or just step into thin air (our 4 year old went butt first down the stairs as they were pretty steep). Not much space at the top either so recommended to go with a smaller group of people.

Saint Mark's Cathedral in Korčula Town is a standout example of Gothic-Renaissance architecture, constructed between the 14th and 16th centuries by local stonemasons. Situated at the highest point of the old town, the cathedral features an ornate façade adorned with a fluted rose window and statues of Adam and Eve. Inside, visitors can view notable artworks, including paintings by Tintoretto. The cathedral's bell tower offers panoramic views of the town and the Adriatic Sea, accessible for an additional fee. While entry to the cathedral itself is free, the bell tower requires a separate ticket. It's advisable to check opening hours in advance, as they can vary by season. The cathedral remains a significant cultural and historical site, reflecting Korčula's rich heritage.

Beautiful architecture. The entrance to the cathedral is not free.

It's a nice piece of history and with only 5€ per ticket, St. Mark's Church Clocktower is a nice around 25 minutes trip to the top of the island. It's very narrow so don't go if you have trouble in narrow spaces or afraid of heights. Children have to be at least 10 years old to enter and if you check the time before entering, you can time it so that you can be on the clock tower whilst it's ringing.

The Gothic Cathedral of St. Mark in Korcula, Croatia, was downgraded to the status of church in 1828 when the bishop moved to Dubrovnik. The portal with St. Mark flanked by a pair of lions was created by Bonino da Milano in 1412.

Gorgeous cathedral! Small but stunning! I didn’t pay to go inside, but i walked by during mass and was able to see it for free.

The Cathedral of St. Mark, Korčula’s Gothic-Renaissance cathedral, hemmed in by a web of streets in the center of Korčula’s old town is stunning. Completed in the 15th century at the hands of local artisans with the help of Italian masters. The view from the top of the bell tower is beyond stunning.
