Katedrála Božského spasitele
Czechia
You find it in the middle of náměstí Msgre. Šrámka in Moravská Ostrava, and the first thing that registers is the north-west front: two symmetrical towers, each 67 metres high, framing the entrance. This is the cathedral of the Ostrava-Opava diocese, a role it has held since the diocese was created on 30 May 1996, and one it shares with the co-cathedral of the Assumption in Opava. It is often described as the second largest church in Moravia after the basilica at Velehrad, with room for 4,000 people, though the source flags that ranking as lacking a citation. The style is neo-Renaissance, built from plans by Gustav Meretta, with construction overseen by the Ostrava architect Clemens Hladisch (Klement Hladiš) and the interior decoration designed by Max von Ferstel.
