Construction
The cathedral was built in 1969, three years after the renewal of the city's Catholic parish. It was designed by prof. ing. Zvonimir Vrkljan of the Faculty of Architecture, University of Zagreb, Croatia, and was built to resemble a ship. It was consecrated on June 29, 1969, by Aleksandar Tokić, the then-Archbishop of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Bar.[1] The church has a 40-metre-high (130 ft) freestanding bell tower, with concrete spiral staircases. From the dark interior, a 25-metre-high (82 ft) tower sticks up, filtering light to illuminate the main altar.[2] Its facade was never finished.
