Koper Cathedral: Carpaccio isn`t only a dish
The Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary (Slovene: Stolna cerkev Marijinega vnebovzetja) also called Koper Cathedral It is the Catholic cathedral of the Diocese of Koper, in the city of Koper, Slovenia.
The church was built in the second half of the twelfth century in Romanesque style, with three naves, each ending with an apse. Until 1392 the church underwent changes and additions, which also led to a change of style: the western facade is clearly Gothic. After an earthquake in 1460, the facade was redesigned in 1488, with the addition of Renaissance elements. The tower, which offers views of the city and the bay, is four stories, follows the style of an Italian bell tower and houses one of the oldest bells in Slovenia, dating back to 1333. Early 18th century, Koper was under Venetian influence, and was again an architectural transformation in the Baroque style. Under the direction of Giorgio Massari, additional landscaping elements were added to the church, including valuable paintings of Venetian painters Pietro Liberi, Celesti Andrea, Antonio Zanchi and Vittore Carpaccio. The most important painting is the Holy Conversation of Vittore Carpaccio, dating from 1516 (from Wikipedia).
I was here june 18, 2018. There are three paintings by Vittore Carpaccio, as well as at least one painting of his son Benedetto.

LITHUANIA: PATRIARCH OF RUSSIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH AT BLESSING
Russian/Eng/Nat
The Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church and the head of the Lithuanian Catholic church held a joint blessing on Saturday in the Lithuanian capital, Vilnius.
Alexy II's visit commemorates the 650th anniversary of the death of three Lithuanian martyrs killed by pagans, and the 400th anniversary of the Vilnius Holy Spirit monastery the stronghold of Orthodoxy in Lithuania.
The meeting of the spiritual leaders is well-timed, taking place during a period of strained relations between the two churches.
Patriarch Alexy II greatly angered Catholics last week by proposing a bill effectively ending their practice in Russia.
The increasing tension between the Orthodox and Catholic churches was temporarily forgotten in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius on Saturday.
Alexy II, Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church, and Audris Joseph Bachkis, the Catholic Bishop of Lithuania, joined together to offer their benedictions to the people.
The two churches are currently engaged in a war of words since the Russian Patriarch infuriated Catholics worldwide by proposing a bill to stop the activities of various 'foreign' religions.
He proposed that those religions unable to demonstrate a continuous presence for the last 15 years would be outlawed.
Catholicism, banned in Soviet society, would have no place in Russian society under the proposals.
But this sensitive issue did not appear to put the crowds off, and around five-thousand people gathered in the streets to watch the historic ceremony.
Lithuanian President Algirdas Brazauskas was among those receiving the blessings.
During the service the Patriarch commented on the problems and uncertainties facing Christian people in Europe.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian)
Christian people of Europe are today faced by serious problems, both in the general and global sense, such as a sense of disappointment and uncertainty for the future.
SUPER CAPTION: Alexy II, Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church
The head of the Lithuanian catholic church said Saturday's service was a step towards a better understanding between the two religions.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
I think it's a very good example of the way we can stay together and pray together - so I think it's a good step towards a better comprehension between Catholic and Orthodox on the one level.
SUPER CAPTION: Bishop Audris Joseph Bachkis, Head of Lithuanian Catholic Church
The Patriarch is on the second day of his three-day trip to the Lithuanian capital.
In a cordial meeting with Lithuanian Algirdas Brazauskas on Friday, the Lithuanian President presented him with the Order of the Grand Duke Gediminas of Lithuania for his contribution to friendship between the two countries.
And in a reciprocal gesture, Alexy II then bestowed upon Brazauskas the Order of Prince Daniel the Faithful of Moscow.
During an overcast day full of official duties, the Patriarch also laid a wreath in honour of those Lithuanians who died fighting for independence in 1991.
He then went on to a church for another remembrance service.
The solemn service commemorated the 650th anniversary of three Lithuanian martyrs killed by pagans.
