St. Emmeram's Cathedral (Slovak: Bazilika svätého Emeráma, Hungarian: Szent Emmeramus templom), located in Nitra, Slovakia, was originally built in the Gothic style and is composed of many parts. The entire cathedral is housed in the Nitra Castle precinct, much like the Prague Castle. The upper church dates from 1333-1355. The rotunda dates back to the 11th-12th century and houses a silver reliquary made in 1674. Another reliquary in the cathedral houses some relics of St. Cyril. The lower church was built between 1621-1642. Later on the entire cathedral complex was remodelled in the Baroque style. St. Emmeram was an interrant bishop who did missionary work from the court of the duke of Bavaria, Theodo I.
