The Cathedral stands in the nucleus of Koper and dominates the area
between the east side of the main square, Tito Square (Titov trg), and
Brolo Square (trg Brollo).
The three-nave Romanesque space with three
apses was built in the second half of the 12th century.
In the first half of the 18th century the interior was unified and arranged, and the hall was remade in Baroque style. The work was directed by the architect Giorgio Massari. There are numerous quality paintings of artists from Venice. There are more works by the even more famous artists Benedetto and Vittoreo Carpaccio. On the south side in the middle of the church hangs the Sacra Conversatione by V. Carpaccio from 1516, one of the best Renaissance paintings in Slovenia. It was painted for the of altar St. Rochus (sv. Rok). Among the sculptural works of art, a chiselled sarcophagus of St. Nazarius (sv. Nazarij) from the middle of the 14th century (perhaps Filippo de Sanctis) holds a special position, behind the altar.The Episcopal Cathedral is done in luxurious Baroque style.
