Cathedral of Saint Bartholomew in Kapitul

The Cathedral of Saint Bartholomew, also known as Knin Cathedral, is a medieval religious site located in Kapitul, Croatia. Originally built on the site of a Roman fort and bridge, it was developed from a Benedictine monastery in the 10th century. The cathedral became the seat of the Diocese of Knin in the 11th century. In 1203, a new cathedral was constructed, which was later dedicated to Saint Bartholomew in the 14th century. Despite its initial grandeur, the cathedral faced decline due to Ottoman threats, leading to the erection of fortifications in the 16th century. It was eventually demolished by Italian troops during World War II. Archaeological research continues to uncover its historical significance.
