Požega Cathedral

Located near Požega city center and at the foot of the hill where a medieval fortress once stood, this cathedral is a beautiful example of Baroque architecture.

The project was endorsed by empress Maria Theresa on 11 July 1754 and building started on 28 June 1756.

The interior is dominated by main altar of St. Teresa of Ávila, gift of bishop Franjo Thauszy, presented on the occasion of the consecration of the church.

The former was a gift of Croatian viceroy Franjo Nádasdy, and the latter of Požega-born, Kutjevo parish priest Josip Maurović.

Cathedral organ was built by Josip Brandl factory in Maribor and put in its place in 1900.
