Cathedral of St. Stephen

On the eastern side of Hvar’s main square is the Cathedral of St. Stephen. Construction on the structure began in the 6^th century and finished in the 17^th century, and multiple architecture styles are evident, including Gothic, Romanesque and Renaissance. Particularly remarkable is the four-story bell tower and Madonna, a renowned painting that exemplifies proto-Venetian art and is one of the oldest in Dalmatia (dating back to 1220).
