Ljubljana Cathedral, also known as St. Nicholas's Church, dominates the city skyline with its distinctive green dome. Inside, visitors are greeted by lavish Baroque decoration, including stunning ceiling frescoes by Italian painter Giulio Quaglio. The cathedral's history dates back to a medieval predecessor, but the current structure was built in the 18th century. Its twin bell towers and ornate main portal make it a must-see landmark in the old town.
