Concathedral

St. Nicholas Concathedral (Slovak: Konkatedrála svätého Mikuláša) is one of the biggest churches in Slovakia. It is the main Roman Catholic church of the city of Prešov. The church is 55m long, 34.5m wide and 71m high (the tower). It was built in the middle of the 14th century and expanded in the early 16th century. The church burned down several times. The last restoration works were performed in the years 1982-1989. The concathedral is built in Gothic style. A parish church until 2008, it was elevated to cathedral in that year.^[1][2] The title "concathedral" refers to the fact that it is the second cathedral in the Archdiocese of Košice, after St. Elisabeth Cathedral in Košice.
