Geocache Description:

The Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul or Ðakovo Cathedral (Croatian: Katedrala Svetog Petra i Pavla) is a Roman Catholic cathedral in Ðakovo, Croatia. Sometimes referred only as Cathedral of St. Peter.

Katedrala Ðakovo Cathedral is the biggest sacral newly built building of Croatian historicism. The St. Peter and St. Paul's Cathedral Ðakovo is the town's most famous landmark and the most important sacral object. The Cathedral was built 1866-1882 under Josip Juraj Strossmayer, who was at that time the bishop of the Ðakovo and Srijem Catholic diocese. Architects of the Cathedral are Karl Rösner and Friedrich von Schmidt from Vienna. Fresco paintings depicting scenes from the Old Testament in the nave and the New Testament scenes from the life of St Peter in the chancel were executed by the Roman painters of German origin Alexander Maximillian and Lodovico Seitz, except for two frescoes which were painted by Achille Ansiglioni. The scenes from the life of St Peter were partially made according to the drawings created for Ðakovo Cathedral by one of the leading Nazarene painters Friedrich Overbeck. The landscaped park from the 19th century near the bishop's palace is a horticultural monument under special protection as well as the nearby Small Park (Mali Park) dating from the turn of the 19th/20th century.

Cache is a magnetic small plastic box. Inside you will find a logbook, pen and some small items for kids.
