Most unusual Cathedral we've ever seen. Huge building project around it which is part of the local University. Very tastefully done and the re-housing of the statues of the Apostles is quite stunning. The interior of the Cathedral is undergoing a quite magnificent restoration of the walls which is breath-taking. The Cathedral organ looks and sounds stunning. Do not miss this wonderful place.

You are able to buy so called "Combined ticket" in the Castle, so than you can visit the mosque and the castle as well. Who is visiting for religious reasons, can take a shower nearby, in the "Művelődési Ház, Kultúr Ház" House of Culture.

The former Turkish mosque, built in the late 16th century, now serves as a Catholic church featuring a grand cupola, prayer niches and keel-arch windows.

This place is an architectural gem. Beautiful interior design that preserves Ottoman simplicity at its best, but also superb statues of Jesus, the Virgin and various saints. The preservation has been top notch, one can still see a few Allahu Akbar frescoes on the walls. I could spend hours here, marveling at the light that filters through the stained windows.

In the centre of Kaposvar facing Kossuth Lajos Square you find this very beautiful looking Cathedral. It was rebuilt in 1886 in a "New Roman Style" and when you think of other Church Styles in the world it does have a "new" look, doesn't it? It was elevated to Cathedral Status in 1993 when Kaposvár became a bishop's seat. On the South Side of the building exterior there is a sculpture by Janos Bory ( there is a castle that he built in 40 summers in Székesfehérvár, an artist and University professor) The St. Stephen Well, adding beauty to the Cathedral and more to see in downtown.
